When Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz was sworn in in 2013, he inherited a holdover staff which included the section dealing with the State of Texas Children Protective Services under the Department of Family and Protective Services.
At the head of the county's DA staff who worked hand in hand with the state was Kelley SorRelle, who had joined the DA's Office two years earlier in 2011. She left the county in 2017, having worked under Saenz for four years. Over that time, Saenz came to depend on SorRelle and the CPS section to protect children and families and remove them from abusive situation.
"Whenever we had a CPS issue, we knew we could count of Kelley to protect kids and take care of the kids," Saenz said yesterday. "That's why it threw us for a loop to hear she had been arrested for her participation in the January 6 insurrection. All of us are stunned to hear that. Sometime after she left us in 2017, something went wrong."
After her husband Jeremy left the DA's staff, SorRelle followed. Saenz said the couple had later split after they moved to Granbury, about 20 miles southwest of Fort Worth in North Texas.
During the hearing on Wednesday, 45-year-old SoRelle, of Granbury, Texas, pleaded guilty to one felony count of obstructing justice and one misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds.
The felony charge has a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years but recommended sentencing guidelines for SoRelle suggest a maximum 16-month prison sentence, the AP reported.
In 2022, SoRelle was arrested in Junction, Texas, but ongoing questions about her mental health have resulted in the case being suspended for the past several months.
More than a year ago, medical experts determined SoRelle was mentally unfit to stand trial. In November 2023, she was sent to a federal Bureau of Prisons facility for treatment. Last month, Judge Mehta ruled that SoRelle had recovered enough to understand the charges against her and assist in her defense.
During the January 6 riots, SoRelle was seen in photographs alongside Oath Keepers founder
Stewart Rhodes. During the riots, SoRelle allegedly posted a message in the Oath Keepers Telegram chat saying "We are acting like the founding fathers—can't stand down. Per Stewart, and I concur."
Rhodes was previously sentenced to 18 years in prison for a scheme to keep former President Donald Trump in office following the 2020 election. Following Rhodes' arrest, SoRelle reportedly told media outlets that she was acting in his place as the president of the far-right organization.
"Although SoRelle did not personally enter the Capitol Building on January 6, she understood the role those inside and outside the building, like herself, played in delaying the certification proceeding that had been taking place inside the Capitol," a court filing accompanying her guilty plea said on Wednesday.
In 2009, the Oath Keepers organization was founded by Rhodes, a former U.S. Army paratrooper. The far-right group has been known to recruit former police officers and military members with a pledge that seeks to "fulfill the oath all military and police take to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
SoRelle pleaded guilty to obstructing justice by urging others to destroy electronic evidence of their involvement in the plot. Two days after the riot, both she and Rhodes used her cellphone to send messages encouraging Oath Keepers to delete incriminating evidence.

DISMISSED she's a gringa THEY ARE ALL INNOCEANT, EVEN IF PROVEN GUILTY, DISMISSED DISMISSED AND DISMISSED
Nomas los locos le creen al puto de Trump. “Dime con quién te juntas y te dire quien eres”.
Poor baby.
Hope she gets better.
The January 6th insurrection was like the Russian Collusion. Fake news. The democrats want everyone to believe that dozens died when it was only one who died at the hands of an incompetent Capitol Police officer. The others all Trump supporters died of natural causes. So lets cut the BS .
So Kelley SoRelle wanted to be Maga Revolucionary lawyer. I hope they put her in the same Calabos(el bote) where the other insurrectionists( oh, so sorry hostages or better yet, bola de babosos) are being held. That way she can give them free services. Trumpers like MyRatita Flores, Jamie Lopez, Adam Hinojosa, and Monica dela Cruz should take her up on free services. They may need her later on.
SOY LO QUE SOY
Y SIEMPRE LO SERE
PERO JAMAS SERE LAMBISCON
LET'S GO OUT AND VOTE DEMOCRATS
THERE IS HOPE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
These individuals are smart, educated and with connections to do good for the country. They opted to destroy and betray the USA. Americans are very lenient, other countries would have seen them as traitors to the nation.
This is the creation of DJT. Pretty pathetic.
Birds of a feather... right Mr DA
So the insurrection was FAKE?? Wow!! And what was on TV was fake?? Like the old adage says : “ Better to be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt…”. Just saying
She's campaigning don't know what position but we'll know soon enough. one that pays millions under the table and a few thousands on top of the table.....
if they are from outside el valle a;; gringos/as, will never be checked for anything, just their social security number and just maybe an official ID. NADA MAS, SON GINGOS Y GRINGAS THEY ARE YOUR BOSSES. REMEMBER THAT MESKINS!!!!
Trump is not only weird he is toxic. America, Liberty, and Independence are all running away from him. I pray he doesn't catch them.
Trump continues favoring the rebels. Trump has dinner with them, takes pictures with them and now the rebels control his campaign. Trump is making them promises to get elected. Of course, there is another Latino involved: Fuentes. Trump doesn't learn from his errors. He is preparing another revolt if he loses with 10 votes.
Trump doesn't "continue" to favor the rebels. He has always encouraged and supported them. Remember "they're good people." I read somewhere that he calls them "basement dwellers."
