Council of judges discuss implementing new Texas law regarding cash bail for those accused of violent crimes
EL PASO, Texas — The Council of Judges in El Paso county are discussing how to implement Texas Senate Bill 6, which among other things, does not allow people accused of violent crimes to be released from jail unless they can pay their bail in cash.
SB 6 will not allow those accused of a violent crime to be released on a personal bond, which allows someone to be released without paying any money under the terms that the defendant will return to court when they are ordered.
The Council of Judges will start their meeting at 12 p.m. MST.

And only return 90%. The 10% can go towards border enforcement.
State bail bond statutes have nothing to do with federal immigration. The CBP is fully funded and enforcing all federal immigration statutes.
You’ve been out of the loop Mark. Texas now has it’s own separate border enforcement and task force. Now stop wasting my bandwidth on always having to educate you.
Texas has no border jurisdiction and after Abbott’s political fiasco with the National Guard troops that weren’t even allowed to speak to immigrants, that ship has sailed. All applicable immigration laws concerning the border are being enforced by CBP. Only thing that’s changing is an overhaul of the asylum system so immigrants can get in legally sooner.
Your argument is comical nitwit. Your argument is the intellectual equivalent of a pilot steering a plane into the ground while preventing someone from trying to rescue the flight by claiming that only the pilot is authorized to fly the plane. What an idiot!!!
The answer is to leave the criminals in jail without bond.
Can’t do that. The penal code won’t allow it.

States and their governments have no jurisdiction over any matter related to immigration or border security. You may not like that and wish that racist filth like Abbott and Paxton could have a say, but under current law, they don’t. State officials aren’t even allowed to speak to immigrants let alone detain them.
They do if it’s a matter of state and/or national security, which in this case it is. These are not asylum seekers, they are criminals illegally invading our country with with the intent to do harm. It’s not an immigration issue
That may be your racist white trash opinion, but it has no force in law. States have no jurisdiction over borders or immigration and that’s the law. If you don’t like it lobby congress.
They do when National Security is at stake which it is.
When ever alberto’s personalities lose an argument, he goes into his racist rants.
You lost the argument before you started ranting like the idiot you are. Look it up in the U.S. Code twit.
You never win any argument nitwit.
The funniest part is he thinks he is a lawyer. What a moron!
All he is, is a coward punk!
Says madmike the coward.
It’s confirmed you the coward nitwit. You failed to show. CHICKEN!!!
