President Joe Biden has nominated a Texas sheriff, Ed Gonzalez, to lead Immigrations and Customs Enforcement for the Department of Homeland Security.
Since 2017, Gonzales has served as sheriff of Harris County, Texas, which is the largest sheriff office in Texas and the third-largest in the country. He has led a team of 5,000 employees in the position and previously served 18 years with the Houston Police Department, rising to the rank of sergeant, according to his profile on his office's website.
If confirmed by the Senate as the next director of ICE, Gonzales would lead the agency charged with strengthening border security and preventing the illegal movement of people, goods and funds into and out of the U.S. The agency has about 20,000 deportation officers, special agents, analysts and other staff.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas praised Biden’s pick in a statement Tuesday.
“Sheriff Ed Gonzalez is a strong choice for ICE Director,” Mayorkas said. “With a distinguished career in law enforcement and public service, Sheriff Gonzalez is well-suited to lead ICE as the agency advances our public safety and homeland security mission. I hope the Senate will swiftly confirm Sheriff Gonzalez to this critical position.”
In 2017, as Harris County’s new sheriff, Gonzales withdrew from a partnership with federal immigration authorities that allowed local officers to determine the immigration status of jailed crime suspects, citing a lack of resources. They were then allowed to hold people selected for deportation, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Gonzales is about as crooked as a country road. There are numerous fist amendment audit videos on the Harris County Sheriffs department - and they did not do well at all. He does not have a great reputation.
That’s all to be expected since he’s been nominated by Xiden.
They are all criminals and will only allow other criminals in the administration.
Harris County is Soros country
An awful Sheriff in a raving lunatic Democrat County with a sky rocketing crime rate which is a 100% Sanctuary for illegals. Perfect selection for the Xiden Junta.
Slowly they creep!
Didn’t AOC tell him to abolish ICE?
From the Harris County cesspool.
Glad I’m sittin’ down for that shocker!!! Oh Lord please deliver us from this evil........
Everytime there is a big flood down there I keep hoping it will wash harris county out to sea. Every major American city has more in common with Sodom than a version of themselves from 30 years ago.
God is going to need a lot of sulfur and brimstone to clean up this mess.
Isn’t this guy the one that is married to Soros’es bought and paid for Harris County DA? That is convenient, if true.

Glad Biden took him off Harris County’s hands. Worried his replacement will be worst. Our county judge, Lena Hildalgo, is a marxist and is trying to turn Harris County into a 3rd world communist country.
If this info is right, then I guess he’d be just what Biden & the other crooks in the party are looking for.
Why not ask sheriff Joe Arpaio
He has senority over this guy
This appointment will have the same effect.
