AWESOME: Greg Abbott OUTS Texas county ignoring ICE requests and RELEASING CRIMINAL ILLEGALS

Texas Governor Greg Abbott put this report on his website yesterday, making sure his constituents know that Travis county is not only ignoring ICE requests to detain criminal illegals and is setting them free, but that they are the worst offender in the country:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today issued its first “Declined Detainer Outcome Report,” which highlights the Counties that are not cooperating with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests. From the time period between January 28 – February 3, 2017, 206 criminally charged illegal immigrants nationwide were released from custody due to the denial of ICE detainer requests. The worst offender was Travis County, which accounted for 142 (nearly 70%) of those released and charged with crimes including sexual assault, aggravated assault, domestic violence, and robbery.

“Today’s report from DHS is deeply disturbing and highlights the urgent need for a statewide sanctuary city ban in Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “The Travis County Sheriff’s decision to deny ICE detainer requests and release back into our communities criminals charged with heinous crimes – including sexual offenses against children, domestic violence and kidnapping – is dangerous and should be criminal in itself. Texas will act to put an end to sanctuary policies that put the lives of our citizens at risk.

I love the resolve in his statement to put an end to this criminal activity by the Travis County sheriff’s department.

He summed it up in his tweet on this as “Not for long”:

Amen. Let it be so.
