Houston Chronicle - Against the backdrop of rising deportation fears among immigrants, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo disclosed Wednesday the department has found the number of Hispanics reporting rape is down 42.8 percent from last year, and those reporting other violent crimes has registered a 13 percent drop.
"When you see this type of data, and what looks like the beginnings of people not reporting crime, we should all be concerned," Acevedo said during a news conference at HPD headquarters. "A person that rapes or violently attacks or robs an undocumented immigrant is somebody that is going to harm a natural born citizen or lawful resident."
