Texas National Guard Deputized for Immigration Arrests, Trump Administration Reaches New Agreement

The Texas National Guard has been deputized by President Donald Trump's administration to carry out immigration enforcement actions in the state this weekend under a new agreement reached between Governor Greg Abbott and federal authorities. The deal grants the guard authority to make immigration arrests, marking a significant shift in Texas's role in immigration enforcement. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to bolster immigration enforcement on the US-Mexico border. The details of the agreement remain unclear, but it has sparked concerns among immigrant rights advocates.
