Let’s start with some great news this week.

Judicial Watch client Sergeant Joslyn Johnson, the widow of a fellow police officer gunned down by an illegal alien criminal, may finally get her day in court thanks to a landmark Judicial Watch court victory!On September 9, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Sergeant Johnson. At Judicial Watch’s urging, the three-judge panel reversed a decision by the district court. Sgt. Johnson’s lawsuit against the city of Houston’s illegal sanctuary policy will now continue.

As noted by the appellate court, under the Houston Police Department’s (HPD) illegal alien sanctuary policy, “HPD officers are forbidden from notifying federal authorities that they have encountered a known illegal alien unless they arrest that person on a ‘separate criminal charge (other than a class C misdemeanor).’”

Moreover, Houston’s sanctuary policy also prevents police officers from obtaining immigration information from a number of federal government databases. (The policy only allows police officers to check the “wanted” status of an illegal alien from a single federal database that tracks illegal aliens who have been convicted and deported for “drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, or serious violent crimes.”)

Further into this story..I knew it, I knew it, at last this is the truth,,,Unfortunately for the citizens of Houston, the city has become a hotbed for illegal alien criminal activity. Judicial Watch uncovered a shocking sex trafficking operation set up by illegal aliens right under the nose of the HPD. This operation was kept alive by illegal alien sanctuary policies. JW also uncovered documents showing that Houston immigration officials, at the direction of the Obama administration, suspended the deportations of dangerous illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes, including sexual assault, solicitation of murder, aggravated assault, assaulting a police officer, and kidnapping, as well as numerous drug charges.

0azzwad is out to get Texas.

[moonshinner_09]

He no longer is out, his attack on Texas is in full attack mode. Illegals are treated like V.I.P.’S in Houston.

[Revel]

Hey- Judicial watch actually accomplished something.

[television is just wrong]

give college ed out of his own pocket not ours.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Didn’t know it was that bad.

You had a candidate who was stronger than any other on immigration. His plan was
1) Secure the border
2) Prosecute any business that employs an illegal alien, and any union that has illegals on job sites or hides them within their membership.
3) A cutoff of federal funding to all sanctuary states or states that allow sanctuary cities
4) No money to be spent on illegals
5) No amnesty

Sorry you missed him. Wasn’t allowed by the media to debate and he dropped out yesterday. It was Thad McCotter. No one has a tougher plan.

Thanks to liberal Democrat Mayor White, who was supported by Obama and company. Houston is the most liberal town in TX.

[Grey Eagle]

Perry is not to blame for this one. Blame Obama, Mayor White and Immigration. They stopped deportations there.

[Grey Eagle]

This is Texas State Law.

[moonshinner_09]

It is thanks to sanctuary policies.

[television is just wrong]
