Texas Criminal Alien Arrest Data
According to DHS status indicators, over 245,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and February 28, 2018. During their criminal careers, these criminal aliens were charged with more than 650,000 criminal offenses. Those arrests include 1,323 homicide charges; 77,448 assault charges; 18,410 burglary charges; 78,198 drug charges; 797 kidnapping charges; 44,210 theft charges; 49,921 obstructing police charges; 4,248 robbery charges; 7,012 sexual assault charges; and 9,739 weapon charges. Of the total criminal aliens arrested in that timeframe, over 164,000 or 66% were identified by DHS status as being in the US illegally at the time of their last arrest.

*Note: These are Texas charges for these criminal alien arrestees as reported to DPS by local agencies – the arrestees charted here may have offenses in other states.
Sanctuary states and cities would not be in communication to federal authorities about the immigration status of these criminals. Why should states and cities not communicate this to Federal authorities? It makes no sense.
Sanctuary laws aren't about legal/illegal immigrants, but rather protecting criminals. It's the upside down world.
*A legal immigrant that has been arrested will likely face deportation at their interview with USCIS.
*An illegal immigrant will be released and not deported because they are illegal and don't have an interview and if they do, simply won't show up for it.
