Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez has had enough.
Joe Biden nominated Gonzalez to take over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
After more than a year of waiting to be confirmed, Gonzalez is throwing in the white towel and walking away.
Time to Leave
Gonzalez was in trouble right from the start.
It surely did not help his case when domestic abuse allegations were levied against him.
The fact is, regardless, he did not even have enough support among Democrats to get approved.
So, after a year, he has decided that enough is enough, and he pulled his name from consideration…
1/5 On Sunday, I informed President Biden's administration that I am respectfully withdrawing from consideration for the post of Director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He also took a few parting shots at Republicans on the way out the door.
Gonzales added, “I am grateful to President Biden for the honor of nominating me, and I wish this administration well as it strives to overcome the paralyzing political gridlock that threatens far more than our nation’s border.
“Frankly, the dysfunction threatens America’s heart and soul.”
And so does open borders.
