An illegal alien from El Salvador was in custody Tuesday after one Houston police officer was shot and killed and another wounded at a southwest Houston apartment complex. The slain officer was identified as Sgt. Harold Preston, a 41-year veteran of the force.
Elmer Rolando Manzano-Martinez, 51, has been identified by ICE officials as a "convicted criminal alien who is unlawfully present in the U.S." Police confirmed that Manzano-Martinez has a long criminal history, including a charged of evading police in 2002.
This is another example of why local liberal politicians endanger citizens and police by protecting illegal aliens. Sanctuary communities also release illegal alien criminals from local jails to “protect them” from COVID-19. What about protecting citizens?
Police constantly place their lives in danger, especially because domestic violence calls are the most dangerous police officers' calls. Politicians should not add to the danger by protecting illegal aliens.
