The White House is still behind Gonzalez, the sheriff of Harris County, Texas, but he currently doesn’t have the votes to advance.
“By the standards of the Senate, there are usually two or three that fall by the wayside. It’s not unusual at all,” said Senate Majority WhipStill, given the rising number of crossings at the southern border with Mexico, many senators want a permanent, Senate-confirmed ICE director. But Democrats have little room for error on Gonzalez’s nomination, after he received no Republican support in committee.
“Somebody needs to see it … Because if [the police officer is] giving a false report, that’s serious for his career obviously. If he’s giving an accurate report that needs to be known as well,” Lankford said. If Gonzalez says it’s false, he added: “Great. Let’s verify it all and move on.”
