During the nine hours that Texas was allowed to arrest and deport people who illegally enter the U.S., Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland never changed his tactics with migrants in his remote border county.

National Guard and other law enforcement are stationed at a now closed off Shelby Park, Wednesday, March 20, 2024, in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Defiance from the Mexican government, which said it would not accept any migrants whom Texas attempts to send back across the border, and caution among law enforcement officials cast uncertainty over what a full implementation would look like. Abbott reminded a crowd at a conservative policy conference in Austin on Wednesday that even with SB4 on hold, Texas could still arrest migrants who trespass on private property. That more limited operation began in 2021.

In responding to a call from a landowner on Thursday, Cleveland encountered a 32-year-old migrant from Mexico trying to make his way to pick strawberries in Florida. He engaged him in conversation in Spanish, asked if he needed food or water and brought him to a holding room at his office to wait for Border Patrol.

One woman told Finner in Spanish that the new law is “fracturing the relationship between the community and the police. It’s creating an image of the police as the enemy when in reality they are the ones that protect us.”
