Texas is already policing the Mexican border − and will play an outsize role in any Trump plan to crack down on immigration

Texas has been pushing an evolution in the administration and enforcement of immigration law.

State lawmakers in 2023 passed Senate Bill 4 , allowing Texas police to arrest those illegally crossing the border from Mexico .

DeBree: Texas is the epicenter of the struggle between federal and state entities.

The immigration crisis on the border is a humanitarian crisis, he says.

DeBree: The Texas state government will probably be lined up more closely with the new administration in their contention that there's an invasion at the border.

He says there will be cooperation or more support or funding from federal agencies.

But at the tactical level, such as the Brooks County sheriff dealing with the state Department of Public Safety and dealing with Customs and Border Patrol , I don't think there’t be much change.
