DOJ Considering Prosecution of Scumbag Sheriff Who Let Dangerous Criminal Alien Go to Avoid Deportation

Federal authorities are scrutinizing a local New York sheriff’s office for letting an illegal immigrant with a violent record walk free, even though federal agents had a valid warrant to detain him. Now, there is talk of possible charges against the sheriff or his staff.

Key Facts:

  • Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove says the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office released 27-year-old Mexican national, Jesus Romero-Hernandez, who had a prior assault conviction.
  • Federal agents arrived to arrest him on a judge-issued federal warrant for illegally reentering the U.S.
  • The sheriff’s office had received the warrant but still released Romero-Hernandez, who was later recaptured on Thursday.
  • President Trump’s administration has vowed to deport illegal immigrants with criminal records.
  • Gov. Kathy Hochul has publicly supported removing individuals with criminal backgrounds.

The Rest of The Story:

Acting Deputy Attorney General Bove accuses the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office of putting law enforcement at risk by not holding Romero-Hernandez.

The sheriff, Derek R. Osborne, was on vacation and unavailable for comment, while the undersheriff offered no response.

New York’s Attorney General Letitia James has advised local law enforcement agencies that civil immigration detainers are not legally binding.

However, in this case, Bove says there was a judicial warrant, which should have compelled the sheriff’s office to hold Romero-Hernandez.

Now, federal prosecutors are looking into whether the sheriff’s office violated the law.

Commentary:

It is deeply troubling that a local sheriff’s office would ignore a valid federal warrant.

Public safety depends on cooperation between local and federal authorities, especially when criminals are involved.

By releasing a man with a known assault conviction and an order for deportation, the sheriff’s office showed disregard for federal law.

Even if there are disagreements about immigration policy, there is no excuse to release someone with a violent history under these conditions.

Federal prosecutors should spare no effort in investigating this matter.

If the sheriff or his staff broke the law, they should be held prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

This sends a message that local governments cannot stand in the way of legitimate federal operations, especially when public safety is at stake.

No official has the right to undermine the deportation of criminals who have harmed our communities.

If it was up to me I’d have the sheriff tried, convicted and publicly executed as a message to others, but that’s just me.

The Bottom Line:

A local sheriff’s office chose to free a criminal suspect wanted by federal authorities.

Now, they face a federal probe that could bring serious charges and reinforce the government’s stance on removing dangerous individuals.
