Hidalgo County (TX) Sheriff Lupe Trevino was caught on tape demoting a veteran officer to a department filled with junior officers. Trevino admitted the officer was doing their job properly, but demoted them because they refused to attend a campaign event and wouldn’t put up a yard sign for Trevino. Trevino even admits on tape that the firing is motivated by politics.
