Houston crime victims' advocate gets results

The Associated Press is running a story on Andy Kahan, director of the Mayor's crime victims' office.

Kahan recently convinced the Texas Department of Public Safety to change a policy under which it removed names of deported illegal immigrants from its sex offender database. As police discovered after the tragic death of officer Rodney Johnson, sometimes deported sex offenders return to our fine city! Apparently, Kahan was convincing, as the DPS moved quickly to change the policy after his request.

KTRK-13 reported the story last week, and Isiah Carey had a good blog post on the topic.
