‼️Statement from Alexis Nungaray:
I was unable to be there in person today, so I am submitting this statement:
I hear the disappointment from council members, and I want to make something clear. Families like mine don’t have the luxury of disappointment. We live with the consequences of these decisions every single day.
I am under a gag order. I cannot speak about what was done to my daughter. I cannot say their names. I cannot describe the horrors that replay in my mind every single day. But I can say her name.
Jocelyn Nungaray.
You talk about protecting people. My daughter should still be here.
Public safety includes enforcing the law. Policies that create blind spots in law enforcement and limit what officers can do in real time put lives at risk. That risk is a reality for families like mine who have lost something irreplaceable.
I will keep speaking out, because no other family should have to learn this lesson the way mine did.
Remember her name.
Look at her picture.
Understand that behind every policy decision is a real person, a real family, and a life that cannot be replaced.
Because once it happens, there are no amendments or ordinances that bring them back.
On a recent edition of “What’s Your Point?” We heard from @HPOUTX President @Griff3945 who said Houston City Council has “opened the floodgates” with Sanctuary measure aimed at eliminating cooperation with ICE. “They are going to want more and more” said Griffith of anti-ICE Council Members. @FOX26Houston more at https://t.co/yazhH5cpkF
NEW: ICE Houston announces the arrest of 277 illegal migrants in just 2 weeks including child predators, murderers, & drug traffickers
This comes as Houston’s city council is voting tomorrow whether to reverse a recent ordinance it passed which limits police cooperation with ICE. Gov. Abbott froze $110 million in public safety grants for Houston and said it will be pulled if they don’t revoke the ordinance tomorrow because it violates an agreement with the state.
“If these measures are implemented to limit that cooperation there will be immediate impacts to public safety, national security, and border security,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Paul McBride said.”
Among those arrested this month, according to ICE:
1. Haydee Mercado-Rodriguez, a criminal illegal alien and MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, who was convicted and sentenced to 228 years for two counts of aggravated homicide and once count each of aggravated extortion, and participation in a terrorist organization before she fled to the U.S. In 2024, the Biden administration recklessly released her into the U.S. She was arrested April 9
2. Minh Duy Tong Nguyen, a convicted murderer from Vietnam, with a final order of removal from over 25 years ago. Nguyen was arrested April 16
3. Carlos Carmona-Palomo, wanted for homicide in Mexico & illegally entered the U.S. three times and has been convicted twice for drug possession and once each for sexual assault, carrying a prohibited weapon, illegal reentry, and larceny. He was arrested April 6 & then deported
4. Luis Hernandez Martinez, a twice-deported criminal illegal migrant and convicted murderer from Mexico, who was convicted of murder in Upshur County, Texas, in 2003, and has also been convicted of illegal entry. He was arrested April 9 & then deported
