Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, who wasto lead the country’s immigration and customs enforcement agency, said Monday that he was withdrawing himself from consideration for the role after his confirmation vote has stalled for months in Congress.
“I arrived at this decision after prayerfully considering what’'s best for our nation, my family, and the people of Harris County who elected me to serve a second term as Sheriff,” Gonzalez wrote. Gonzalez’s confirmation vote to lead ICE was expected earlier this year but was halted after an affidavit surfaced detailing a domestic violence dispute between Gonzalez and his wife, Melissa Gonzalez, former president of Houston Community College-Southeast.
