Texas police say they do not have resources to arrest undocumented immigrants under the SB4 immigration law. “We don't have a van to transport people,” said County Sheriff Terrell.
The law was put on hold Thursday after a whirlwind of legal action, creating confusion along the Texas border with Mexico. Like many police chiefs and police officers, Cleveland faces serious logistical problems in how to implement the new law, he said. Their county has fewer than 1,000 residents, its jail holds only seven people, and the nearest port of entry is more than two-and-a-half hours away.
