Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Several reports from previously reliable sources in law enforcement and county administrators indicate that – due to alleged violations in compliance of jail contract with the federal government – the majority of the prisoners were removed from the custody of Cameron County Sheriff Eric Garza who informed County Judge Eddie Treviño.
Today, a source confirmed the reports said that perhaps two Hidalgo County inmates and one federal prisoner are the only ones remaining in county detention centers.
The notice that the prisoners were to be removed is contained in an email from Garza to Treviño sent late last week on Thursday or Friday. El Rrun-Rrun is currently trying to obtain a copy.
Where the prisoners were taken is not currently known, but sources at the county jails say they have been removed.
Nobody wants to work out there," said a law enforcement officer who looked into the employment opportunity. "It's a toxic environment where you can't trust anybody to watch your back. People don't trust the administration to support them."
If true, this means that the department's income derived from holding them in Cameron County will be affected. THe contract is for 3000 prisoners and when Garza took over from the late Omar Lucio there were 280 in custody in the county detention centers. At $56 a day per prisoner, that adds up quickly over a year. At one time, it added $3 ,million for Lucio's budget.
The county has been rife with rumor that the federal authorities have considered removing their prisoners after several incidents, including the escape of a Puerto Rican hitman while on a medical appointment outside the jail.
At the time, the federal marshal's office discovered that instead of two armed guards to accompany federal prisoners as per the contract, the county administrators were sending only one citing personnel shortages.

When you write "previously reliable," the reader is led to think they are not now.
Use "usually" instead.
One more time. We went through this the last time you posted a story with this as the topic -
The Feds "routinely" move prisoners for a variety of reasons. It may have something to do with their cases, or it may just be relocation for a certain inmate, etc., etc.
Your breathless reporting is questionable. Dare to go ask questions, reporter!!!
Give the date of the Puerto Rican hitman escape!
It happened when Omar Lucio was sheriff, bro!!!!
be fair, dude.
Couty Commissioners when will you take action on this incompetent sheriff? WHEN?

AND MORE POORER, YOU HAVE NOBODY TO BUY FROM YOUR
COMMISSARY😂😂😂.
VOTE ERIN ELIZABETH GAMEZ!
Well, if that' the case? Then our elected sheriff and his "political contributor," being the #2 guy in gracia lied to little eddie, county commissioners and CC citizens that the jail met all jail standards of the State?
That' what happens when you elect a reserve officer with no experience in running a LE department. The kinda sheriff who just wants to look good in the public eye with his brand new uniform. Worst, this lame sheriff hires or brings on a very shady ex-Fed to "bully" the deputies instead of leading them.
This lame sheriff reminds me of that lame brain idiot brandon!
The best candidate Democrats could come up with. Stop voting like negroes.
The last time the US Marshals took their prisoners out of the Cameron County Jail was for the failed leadership of Conrado Cantu. At least Cantu kept the prisoner's for 2 years before they pulled them out. It took Eric only one year to show complete loss of confidence in the Marshalls to keep their prisoners in the Cameron County Jail. The change we needed. The protection we're getting.
The county is now losing over $500,000 in revenue monthly!! Way to go Eric! You are setting all kinds of records! Pendejo!
Abraham Rodriguez are you out of your mind? Assigning Deputy Figueroa who just got off of FTO to SIU Division knowing her brother is a crackhead who sells narcotics in Cameron Park... the same shit is happening in SWAT with the Salinas brothers...this is just SAD

How about the salinas Brothers logging in to the official county system when they are not working? Why does a supervisor not notice this? Are they giving GPS locations of working deputies to the cartels for money?
The Salinas are always running license plates and names to get addresses for their own benefit (cartel), the dispatcher Kenya is on it too.
Another great job by our Cameron county leaders who are too busy filling their own pockets to care.
Maybe this is why they pulled the federal prisoners

Did you know that money doesn't go to the jail system? The commissioner's use that federal money to fund their own projects. This move has nothing to do with not meeting standards. They passed inspections with the little they're provided. The sheriff and his admin are doing what they can, petitioning the commissioners and they keep getting shut down. NOW that they decide to threaten their spending money they care? Screw them. Elect better people that actually care. Politics aside do what's right!
And get better "reliable" sources your fake ass journalism is just embarrassing.
What' with the peach fuzz sheriff? You think it will make you look matured and that people will think, he' got this? The look doesn't look good at all but then again, don't give a shit! The job you're doing, you could run around naked and still be fucking up the sheriff department along with that shady ex-fed bully in gracia.
Donate the whore house to the homeless organization do something right for a change. They need more space DO IT! Maybe the sheriff and the deputies can help - end the fighting unite and HELP.
Parese un pinche payaso IDIOTA.
Hey, the more ugly you look, the more voters hate your ass - so seas pendejo
