Texas Governor Greg Abbott has increased state funding for immigration enforcement and border security. As part of these efforts, the Governor is planning to establish an immigration police force that will be responsible for enforcing state and federal immigration laws. The move is in response to the surge of illegal immigration at the state’s southern border with Mexico.
Governor Abbott has faced criticism from some Democratic lawmakers who argue that the plan could potentially lead to racial profiling and infringe upon immigrants’ rights. The governor’s office has not yet provided details on the recruitment and training of the immigration police force or the scope of their responsibilities.
