Just a reminder: Bexar Co. (Texas) Sheriff Javier Salazar had to look into three cases of child sex abuse at Freeman migrant detention center after #TXGov @GovAbbott threatened to close it in April 2021.

The migrant detention center in San Antonio, Texas, was toured by @JoaquinCastrotx in April 2021 after @GregAbbott_TX said he wanted to close it after sexual abuse allegations. (2)

I don't see @sheriffsalazar mention why migrants might not want to stick around San Antonio, Texas, after his own investigation into sex abuse at a migrant center. (3)

Here is a local story on the San Antonio migrant sex abuse story. As with most media and the Democratic reaction to it, @GregAbbott_TX was blamed for speaking about the issue and making it a "political pinata." (4)

Here's a good question for @mkraju et al. to ask Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-San Antonio) in the hallways: Did you consult with Sheriff Salazar before his "investigation?"

Castro is the very partisan congressman who doxxed Trump donors. (5)

Keep in mind that Democrats often abuse the levers of law enforcement and prosecution in Texas to pursue Republicans. Former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) was pursued for years by the Travis County (Austin) DA Ronnie Earle -- for Delay's GOP efforts in Texas. (6)

Delay was convicted in 2010. Texas appellate courts threw it all out in 2013 and 2014. But Travis County prosecutors did not get the message. They targeted TX Gov. Rick Perry in 2014. (7)

In 2013, Gov. Rick Perry made a veto threat. A veto threat. He made it because the Austin DA was arrested for DUI.

He was arrested for the vero threat in 2014. It was all thrown out in 2016. (8)
