A Texas border sheriff has changed his mind due to a crime spike in his area and says he will now work with state officials to apprehend migrants who commit trespassing violations, the Washington Examiner reported.
Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber initially chose not to take part in Gov. Greg Abbott’s effort to arrest migrants on state charges because Texas police and courts have no jurisdiction over federal immigration law.
"The state’s been after me for a few months," Schmerber told the Examiner. "I hesitated for about two months. What kind of pushed me to really was because there were more things that were happening.
"I didn't see migrants coming in and just moving on. I saw immigrants get into houses, breaking in, damaging, taking things. I started getting calls from ranchers about all the damage they were doing — calls from neighborhoods close to the city about breaking in, taking things."
Schmerber also cited a recent incident in which a Honduran man broke into the home of a 73-year-old woman and sexually assaulted her.
U.S. border authorities encountered more than 259,000 people who illegally attempted to cross the border in the Del Rio region, which includes Maverick County, during fiscal year 2021 that ended in September. About 40,000 people were encountered the previous year.[/b]
