The lame-duck Democratic district attorney for Texas' largest county has appeared in an ad supporting Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's re-election campaign and discussing their shared goal of protecting Texans from criminal illegal aliens.
Democrat Kimberly Ogg lost support within her party after eight years as district attorney for Harris County, Texas, which includes much of Houston. Not only did she tenaciously pursue criminal charges; High level staff She challenged County Judge Lina Hidalgo over coronavirus funding, but she also strongly opposed the “catch-and-release” policy implemented by the Biden-Harris administration.
“Democrats and Republicans must work together to solve problems for Texans now.”
In July, Ogg and Crews wrote the following paper: Editorial These border policies apparently gave two Venezuelans the opportunity to kill 12-year-old Houston resident Joselyn Nungaray.
“Both men charged with Jocelyn's murder had recently entered Texas illegally and were captured in El Paso, where they were enrolled in an 'Alternative to Detention Program,'” Ogg and Cruz wrote. “This meant that even though ICE detention center beds were available, they were released into the interior of the United States, where they could be held pending immigration court hearings.” The program did not protect Jocelyn. In fact, such a 'catch and release' did not protect Jocelyn.” “Policy protects no one.”
The following month, Ogg formally endorsed Cruz in his re-election race against U.S. Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), claiming: reducing violent crime It was “more than partisanship.”
Now, Mr. Ogg appears in a new Cruise Company ad touting a cooperative effort to prevent similarly criminal illegal aliens from wreaking havoc on American soil.

“Democrats and Republicans must work together to solve problems for Texans now,” Ogg added in the ad.
“Our safety is at stake.”

Mr. Ogg may be “Harris County's top law enforcement officer” now, but he won't be for long. In March, challenger Sean Teare, who had worked for Ms. Ogg, defeated her in the Democratic primary. His second term expires on December 31st.
Mr. Cruz and his team hope that Mr. Ogg's support will sway independents and less partisan Democrats who are dissatisfied with the border issue, but state Democratic leaders I don't agree with that.
“Due to Kim Ogg’s divisive term in Congress, Harris County voters rejected her by a 50-point margin, with Ted Cruz willing to work with both parties during non-election years. “We all know there is no real interest, and voters will reject this failed rebranding effort in November,” said Texas Democratic Party Executive Director.
