Slain Sikh police officer Dhaliwal was a hero: US Senator Ted Cruz
US Senator Ted Cruz has praised slain Sikh police officer Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal, who was gunned down in the line of duty last year, and called him a hero. Dhaliwal was deeply committed to his faith, his family and to serving others with compassion, Cruz said. US Senate recently passed legislation to name a post office in Houston after him.
