Texas Sheriff Admits Enforcing Controversial Immigration Law Will Be Challenging

TL;DR Summary
A Texas sheriff in Maverick County, which includes Eagle Pass, has stated that enforcing the SB4 immigration law will be impossible due to a lack of staff.

Civil rights groups have filed a lawsuit against the state, arguing that immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility. Meanwhile, the southern border continues to face a growing migrant crisis, with thousands of migrants overwhelming Border Patrol agents on a daily basis.
