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. The law, signed by Governor Greg Abbott, would allow troopers and sheriff's deputies to charge and arrest migrants for illegally crossing the border. 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.
