It took HPD one hour to get ICE verification on a detention warrant. It turns out it was not valid, and if it had been, it might have been hours before ICE showed up. HPD would have to wait for ICE to pick up their prisoner.
That is a terrible waste of precious HPD resources. Meanwhile, that will make all the Spanish-speaking media report the incident, and people who are not here legally learn not to call HPD for any reason.
We are not making our city safer, contrary to anything Whitmire and the HPD department say.
The most interesting are the hateful comments posted by the Brown people haters. I have read articles that suggest that Musk and even Melania may have gotten here or remained here illegally. Why is there no demand that they be stripped of their citizenship and deported? Could it be the color of their skin?
A Cleveland, Texas woman called 911 when her car burst into flames only to be told by responding Houston police officers that she faced deportation.
Guadalupe Perdomo was driving to work Monday morning along the Eastex Freeway near downtown Houston when her Kia Optima caught fire, captured on cell phone video.
In an interview in Spanish, she said it was very scary, but it was even scarier when she was detained and told she would be deported to her home country of Honduras.
Perdomo was handcuffed and put in a police car for an hour, she said.
A Houston Police Department spokesperson confirmed the woman was detained when the officer ran her identification and a system showed that she had an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrant for a deportation order.
When the responding officers verified the warrant with ICE, it turned out to be invalid, and she was released, the department said.
Click2Houston should stop allowing comments and spreading hate. They are the only major station that allows comments. Read some of the comments after the article. I guess they are desperate for clicks.
