“LULAC and the Harris County Latino community thanks the District Attorney’s
Office for firing Assistant District Attorney John Denholm for failing to file
sexual assault charges on Karl Bonner because everyone has the right to be
protected in this country, regardless of immigration status,” said Domingo

LULAC District Director Al Maldonado and all of the Harris County LULAC Councils,
