With all due respect the State can’t arrest a person for being illegal, unless they have committed another crime. Texas Operation Lonestar, with TX DPS has arrested many thousands of illegas for breaking other laws.
For suspected 1st time offenders of breaking immigration law, the State can call ICE. The federal government is not doing their job of arrest and deportation but the Statesare not allowed to do so.
And the ones being let go and told to report later are processed by Border Patrol, not State.
Would it make you happy if the Federal government just arrested Governor Abbott? I bet that would make Mayorkas day too.

Wow Rusty! I didn’t mean to push your button.
