Immigration Reform In Texas: Undocumented Immigrants In Dallas No Longer To Be Held In Jail 48 Hours After Release Date, Sheriff Says

The first Latino to be the sheriff of a major city recently announced her re-election campaign with a bit of a twist: Her office would no longer by complying with a federal law that requires

law enforcement agencies to hold arrested undocumented immigrants beyond the dates they’re to be released.

Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez decided to change the policy for her department that was mandated by the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement to detain undocumented immigrants

arrested on minor charges for an additional two days, the Dallas Morning News reported. Hundreds of other jurisdictions in other states with heavy undocumented immigrant populations

have already taken similar action, but Texas has come under scrutiny because it borders Central America, where the U.S. government has been deporting the immigrant group, according to

a new report by the Guardian.

Valdez made the decision with her department’s best interests at heart, she said, knowing that it may not make her more popular, especially during an election year.

“No matter what we do, someone is going to get upset,” she told the Dallas Morning News.

“We can’t base our decisions on who is going to get upset with us. We have to base our decisions on what is best for the whole.”

The fine people of Texas need to run Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez out of office in the next election. And as soon as one of the illegal aliens she releases before ICE can detain or deport them hurts one hair on American head she should be sued or charged as an accessory to those crimes.
