Alocal sheriff's office in New York is facing heat from federal agents after an illegal migrant was released from the facility despite having a federal deportation order.
 
Jesus Romero-Hernandez, 27, on Tuesday pled guilty to third-degree assault charges in Tompkins County. He was released by the local sheriff's office even though he had a federal arrest warrant, according to the Justice Department.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove said that Romero-Hernandez was caught by federal agents Thursday and slammed the county sheriff's office for not keeping him in custody.

“The Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office in Ithaca, NY, a self-described sanctuary city, appears to have failed to honor a valid federal arrest warrant for a criminal alien with an assault conviction,” Bove said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Send his sorry ass to prison.  All the Bubbas would be thrilled to have an ex-sheriff as a new sex toy! :yowsa:
