Houston prosecutor fired after asking about crime victim's immigration status
By Louis Casiano | Fox News
A Houston prosecutor was fired Friday after he allegedly refused to bring charges against a man accused of attempted sexual assault because he believed the victim was living in the United States illegally.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg fired John Denholm after he had been reassigned to a different part of the office pending an investigation of the Oct. 31 incident, The New York Times reported.
“It is wrong to ask about a victim’s immigration status; it is against our policy, and it won’t be tolerated,†Ogg said in a statement. “We treat everyone equally under the law, no matter how they came to be here.â€
