AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Travis County Sheriff’s Office says they are reviewing their ICE detainer policy and are now considering modifications due to a recent case where the jail initially denied a retainer on an accused child sex abuser.
The man, Hugo Gallardo-Gonzalez, 31, was booked Sunday on a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a young child, which is not one of the four charges in Sheriff Sally Hernandez’s policy that leads to an accepted Immigration and Custom Enforcement detainer. Those charges are capital murder, first degree murder, aggravated sexual assault and human smuggling.
After the sheriff’s office reviewed the suspect’s paperwork, they determined there was an aggravated sexual abuse element to the case. “Actions were immediately taken to reinstate the requested ICE detainer to keep Hugo Gallardo-Gonzalez in custody,” said Travis County Jail administrator Major Wes Priddy in a statement.
Major Priddy went on to say they “intend to review this matter and consider possible policy modifications to account for similar future issues.”

Court documents indicate the victim, who is now 11 years old, told police Gallardo-Gonzalez started sexually assaulting her when she was 9 years old.
The close call led Sen. Dawn Buckingham, R-Lakeway, to hold a press conference, drawing attention to the types of crimes people commit and could be returned to the community instead of being deported. She was flanked by more than a dozen members of the Republican Party.
“We have a clear message to Sheriff Hernandez. Again, please rescind your policies. I want a safe Travis County and a safe Texas. It is time to do the right thing,” said Sen. Buckingham.

So the Sheriff is trying to protect foreign national child molesters?
Sheriff Sally Hernandez.... By what legal authority does Ms. Hernandez get to choose which laws she will enforce?
This sheriff is one sick puppy...
Its OK for illegal aliens to molest little children ???
Baby Rape is ok, it is a cultural misunderstanding only
Travis County sheriff stands up for child rapers.
As long as there are more bike lanes it’s OK.
Yep, the republicans have been stupid enough to capture the presidency, congress, most governorships and state legislatures.
In Austin, child molestation is considered an alternative lifestyle, a new letter to add to the LGBTQP GROUP.
She’s doing her constituents of Travis County’s bidding. It’s a liberal hellhole.
Time for a little vigilante justice, such as W sneered at and scolded about.
Since sheriffs and judges are co-POTUSes now.
It’s coming to that. That’s the trajectory.
Why is she still sheriff?
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS,
I, ,
do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of of the State of Texas, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State, so help me God.
I guess the Sheriff's loophole is that it is beyond her ability to defend the laws and Constitution, either way to me that says bag the bitch.
It provides random remote baby raping locations, its all good!
