Harris County changes arrest policy for illegal immigrants – Texas
Tagged: book, crime, deportation, Houston, Mexico, TexasPosted on: September 9th, 2007“Illegal immigrants in Harris County can no longer avoid formal booking into jail for some smaller crimes, a change victims advocates say closes a loophole that allowed suspects to dodge deportation.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office implemented the change more than a week after an illegal immigrant from Mexico, who had been free on a “non-arrest” bond, was accused of drunkenly smashing into another car Aug. 11 and killing three people.”
