The Texas National Guard was "granted the power of immigration officials to make immigration arrests" under an agreement with the Trump administration that state Gov. Greg Abbott said Sunday was effective "immediately."....

....A memorandum of understanding authored by CBP Acting Commissioner Pete Flores has yet to be "disseminated to all Texas border sectors," per Breitbart, which first reported on the deal.
Representatives for Abbott's office did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment in the evening on when this would happen.
The agreement will enable soldiers to conduct "roving patrols and exercise all the duties of an immigration agent so long as a U.S. immigration officer or Border Patrol agent accompanies them," per Breitbart.

Representatives for CBP did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment in the evening.

A Jan. 23 Department of Homeland Security directive gave Justice Department law enforcement officials in the U.S. Marshals, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA),the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Federal Bureau of Prisons authority to investigate and apprehend suspected undocumented immigrants.

Trump's attempt to expand "fast-track" deportations without a full hearing is being challenged in an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawsuit, which argues it violates federal law and the Fifth Amendment's due process clause since it nearly erases full court hearings entitled to immigrants.

Apparently in Texico it is a priority to spend the tax dollars on doing the job of federal immigration enforcement than on needy citizens and homeless veterans.

I never really liked the "Army" national guard soldiers, something was off with them.

Now they serve as the Waffen SS of the governor.
