TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS - The Travis County Jail released 37 immigrant inmates on bond Wednesday, inmates who under an old policy would have been held if requested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Travis County Sheriff’s Spokeswoman Kristin Dark said there were 191 immigrant inmates under ICE detainer requests on Feb. 1, when Sheriff Sally Hernandez’s policy went into effect. ICE agents asked the county to detain five immigrants who were arrested Wednesday, but the sheriff’s office declined both requests under the new policy. The sheriff’s office also declined an ICE request to be informed when four other immigrants were released from the jail.
Hernandez’s new policy states it will comply with ICE detainer requests if the inmate is being held on murder, sex assault or human trafficking charges. The sheriff’s office said 30 inmates fall into those categories and are being held, as well as complying with request to notify ICE when two other inmates charged with those offenses are released.

So 30 people who should not be in the USA have committed murder, sex assaults and human trafficking. Common sense reveals that citizens would be alive, not molested or raped or made sex slaves had the illegals not been in the country. Imagine the hurt and pain they have caused that shouldn't have occurred. The blame lies with our traitorous lawmakers and judges.
That sheriff needs to be in jail.
As big as Texas is, and this Sheriff couldn't find a nice place to "Plant" these illegals in?
