The man President Joe Biden has picked to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to get 1,500 inmates — including violent felons — released from the county jail he ran in Texas.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that Harris County, Texas, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez filed an emergency request to a federal court asking to release about 1,500 inmates from the county jail, which he ran. Gonzalez claimed the prison was overcrowded, even though it had an inmate population of 9,000 at the time – 1,000 less than the number of inmates housed in 2018. Many of the inmates included in the release request were violent felons, according to court records reviewed by the Free Beacon.
