We wish to be supportive of law enforcement leaders, but since when did they get the power to decide which laws they will enforce and which they will ignore?
It’s true that with limited resources, priorities need to be assigned regarding what sorts of crimes will be most vigorously pursued, especially when reviewing the most pressing law enforcement needs at the time. That much we understand.
But to simply decide that a certain body of law is not worthy of enforcement and will thus be ignored is not within the power of the police or sheriffs or any other law enforcement agencies. Those decisions are made by the legislatures and are adjudicated by the court system. If an officer cannot in good conscience enforce the law, he or she should quit and find other work.
What is being built up to here is the sanctuary city issue, in Texas in particular where the law now provides penalties for law enforcement personnel who persist in the creation and maintenance of these zones of lawlessness.

Laws,were made to be followed ,not ignored
I think she’s going to be popular in prison!

Arrest her and place her in her own jail …She is aiding and abetting criminals and should be held accountable …
She should be put in jail.

Oh man! That face should say it all.. They need to take a quiz and swear to uphold the law.. If not then it’s automatic fire with no pensions or anything!
A true POS. Your position violates the oath you took. Remove her.
When is this$#%&!@*going to be arrested by an ACTUAL LAW ENFORCER?
Her active participation in the si-called “Sanctuary movement” is a public CONFESSION of her violation of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
“Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”
Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his or her work authorization status is guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.
Fire her then arrest her…
