Texas Expands Immigration Enforcement
Texas has signed agreements with around 50 law enforcement agencies to enforce immigration laws, including the Texas National Guard and the Texas Attorney General's Office.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has also joined the program, employing nearly 5,000 commissioned officers. The Texas Attorney General's Office announced 35 arrests under the program.
“We’ve heard reports from around the state already about local police working with ICE and kind of conducting these kinds of racial profiling stops where they see brown people driving a work van, and they’ll pull them over on a pretext, and then just immediately call ICE,”
said Danny Woodward, a policy attorney at the Texas Civil Rights Project, highlighting concerns about racial profiling and rights violations.
Citizens, including children, may be subjected to horrific and brutal traffic stops and rights violations under this enforcement.
