Summary
Dallas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is facing criticism for his absence during a vote on a Texas bill that would have automatically denied bail to illegal immigrants charged with violent felonies. The bill, dubbed “Jocelyn’s Law,” was in honor of a 12-year-old girl who was strangled to death by two Venezuelan illegal immigrants. Talarico had voted against killing two amendments to the bill that would have exempted certain immigrants. His campaign spokesperson said he is a “law and order Democrat” who supports prosecuting violent felons.
