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.

Just one county. 85 sexual assault cases of minors and 75 murders.
How many of these lives could have been saved by securing the border? I guess all the women who died or were assaulted just don't matter, because I sure don't hear Harris or any other democrat outraged over their deaths.
