1 In 10 Inmates In Texas Jail are Migrants Wanted by ICE: Report; 1 in 10 Inmates in Texas’ Harris County Jail Wanted by ICE, Records Show: More than 4 in 10 Cases Involving ICE Holds are Linked to Violent Crimes, Open Records Request Reveals

1 in 10 inmates in Texas jail are migrants wanted by ICE: report

One in ten of the most violent prisoners being held in a jail in Texas’ most populous county are illegal migrants earmarked for deportation by federal immigration authorities, according to a new report.

More than 1,100 violent criminals housed in Harris County Jail in Houston currently have detainers filed by US Immigration & Customs Enforcement, including accused murderers and child rapists, according to records obtained by Fox News.

An ICE detainer is a notice sent to local law enforcement of their intention to take a person into custody following their release from jail. The detainer requests information on the person’s release and asks that local officers detain the individual for an additional 48 hours after their release date in order to provide ICE agents time to assume custody.

The numbers, obtained by Fox through an open records request, show that some of the most vicious defendants in the Lone Star State entered the US illegally.

There are about 9,500 inmates in total in the Harris County Jail, according to the network.

“They need to know who they’re allowing to come into our country, our country that we work every day for, that we pay taxes for,” Victoria Garcia, whose son, 27-year-old Ricardo Vega, was allegedly gunned down by migrant Osman Estanly Solorzano Sanchez during a road rage incident, told Fox.

“I didn’t ask for this” Garcia said. “Ricardo didn’t ask to be killed. I didn’t ask for my son to be murdered. It’s a decision that Osman, an illegal from Honduras, that decided to take upon himself.”

The records show that almost half (43%) of the migrants detained in the Houston jail are charged with brutally violent crimes, including 174 ICE detainers for sexual assault — with more than half involving children under the age of 14. —>READ MORE HERE

More than 4 in 10 cases involving ICE holds are linked to violent crimes, open records request reveals

One in every 10 inmates held in the Harris County Jail in Texas has a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold, according to a Fox News open records request.

An ICE hold, or detainer, is a notice to local law enforcement that ICE intends to take the person into custody. The hold also requests information from local officials on when the suspect will be released, and asks officers to hold the suspect for up to 48 hours so that ICE may assume custody.

Currently, there are 9,527 inmates in the Harris County Jail, and 1,170 of those inmates have ICE holds, all of them costing taxpayers as their cases go through the court system.

Fox News records reveal that, as of September, there are 174 ICE detainers linked to sexual assault cases, more than half involving children under 14.

Forty-three percent of cases with ICE holds involve violent crimes as classified by the FBI.

Among them are 75 murder cases, 22 of them capital murder.

This includes the two illegal migrants from Venezuela charged with capital murder, sexual assault and kidnapping in the death of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, whose mother has been vocal about blaming the Biden-Harris open border policy.

Osman Estanly Solorzano Sanchez, 32, is another suspect among these cases. According to ICE officials, Sanchez is an illegal migrant from Honduras.

Sanchez is accused of killing 27-year-old Ricardo Vega, a father of two, during a road rage incident in April. According to police, Vega called 911 before he was shot, informing dispatchers he was following a road rage suspect who was armed with a gun, and gave his license and car description. —>READ MORE HERE
