Tom Homan: Colorado sheriff's department decision to release illegal immigrant 'political' not 'legal'
By Julia Musto | Fox News
A Colorado sheriff's department decision to release an illegal immigrant who is now accused of attempted murder was a "political" decision and a searing indictment against sanctuary city policies, former Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan said Saturday.
Osmani Garces-Ortiz, 37, was arrested in October in Arapahoe County on trespassing and drug charges, authorities said. ICE said it asked the sheriff's office for a detainer on Garces-Ortiz after he posted bond.
The sheriff's policy, however, is to not hold inmates for extra time unless ICE has a warrant, which follows a state law. Less than a month after being released, Garces-Ortiz was arrested on an attempted murder charge stemming from an assault in which a victim was stabbed, according to USA Today.
