An investigation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) and Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force led to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Houston securing a guilty plea from a Mexican man for the receipt and possession of child pornography.
Now Houston, Texas residents must ask themselves; "does Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia really want to Abolish ICE?"
On June 24, 2019 Houston Talk Radio personality Ken Webster posted a video of Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia marching in the Houston PRIDE parade holding a banner that read "Abolish ICE" noting:
From the ICE press release:
Fast forward to October 22, 2019 when both U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement ---that would be ICE----- and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Houston issued dual press releases announcing the guilty plea and sentencing of a non-U.S. citizen on child pornography charges.

From the ICE press release:
"ICE is an organization that stops human trafficking and captures people guilty of heinous crimes, including child pornographers, rapists and murderers, but Sylvia would apparently prefer those people walk free, as she's openly advocating to abolish the institution that arrests a countless number of criminals every year."
Fast forward to October 22, 2019 when both U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement ---that would be ICE----- and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Houston issued dual press releases announcing the guilty plea and sentencing of a non-U.S. citizen on child pornography charges.
"A 54-year-old Mexican man who illegally remained in the United States after his temporary visa had expired was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Tuesday for receiving and possessing child pornography.
This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
Alberto Bernal Garcia, who illegally resided in Houston, Texas, pleaded guilty to the criminal charges April 16. He was sentenced to 10 years each for the receipt and possession convictions, respectively. These sentences will run concurrently.
Garcia legally entered the United States from Mexico on a temporary visa in 1997. However, he overstayed that visa. Following his release from federal prison, he is expected to face removal proceedings."
Let's see Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia defend her "Abolish ICE" position.
Oh sure, there's virtually no chance Garcia will be ousted come the November 2020 elections. Representing Texas' 29th Congressional District, although it's solid blue President Donald Trump and other America First Congressional candidates within Harris County Republican circles can blast the movement calling to Abolish ICE and point to Garcia as a local example of an elected official supporting a policy protecting child pornographers from deportation.
