Local authorities released more than 200 undocumented immigrants from prisons and jails in sanctuary jurisdictions over a week-long span despite pending federal detainment orders, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported Monday.
A single county in central Texas accounted for nearly three-fourths of the 206 undocumented immigrants who were released. Travis County authorities freed 142 people who entered the United States illegally and were subject to deportation.
