And i might add --They damm shur don't ask if he is an american citizen.
Send all of the ILLEGALS BACK and the ones that want go--send them in a body bag!!!
Peace officers in Texas cannot arrest just because someone is illegal. I have personally arrested the same illegal 2 times for DWI. The first time he had a fake social security card and the DA would not accept the charge. I asked how he made it back so fast and he said ICE took him to Dallas and dropped him off and said don't go back.
The jail staff contacts ICE and if ICE wants to come get them they will most of the time they don't.
And on open carry, I could really care less as long as you tell me from the get go on a Traffic stop. Good and Bad people are always gonna have guns I just hope the good ones stop to help me in the bar ditch. Also, some departments don't allow officers to use their own discretion on whether or not to arrest. He may of had no choice on arresting your buddy.
