The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to let Texas state troopers arrest migrants for crossing the border illegally may have explosive impact but its immediate effect was muted
The Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday to let Texas arrest migrants on charges of illegally entering the country could have a dramatic impact on the U.S.-Mexico border but its immediate effect was muted. Sheriffs and police chiefs who will put the law into effect were largely circumspect about when, where and how migrants may be arrested. Before the divided court ruling, some sheriffs were ready to relish an unprecedented state expansion into border enforcement, while others were reluctant.
Skylor Hearn, executive director of the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas, said sheriffs’ offices have been training since last year. “If a county chooses to take it on themselves, they are choosing for their taxpayers to take it on themselves as well,” Hearn said. “As long as the federal government is willing to do its part that it is supposed to be doing, it is ideal for them to take possession and custody of these people.
