As an officer in Houston, I assure you I come across my share of illegal immigrants. It is not my job to enforce federal immigration laws if the feds won't do it. For example, I had a guy stopped on traffic with a felony deportation warrant and ICE refused to confirm the warrant AFTER I had positive ID and it was a good warrant. So you know, even if I got the warrant, he would have gone to county, seen an ICE agent, signed a "Promise to Appear for Deportation" paper, and been released. That paper gives them a date, time, and location to appear for deportation. I have been through that scenario way to many times. If you weren't aware, now you know.
