SUMMARY: In just one week, Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers apprehended over 300 individuals attempting illegal border crossings, a notable increase following President Biden‘s executive order imposing stricter asylum policies. Many detainees are taken to facilities like the Pearsall Detention Center, which has a maximum capacity of 1,842. Simultaneously, 230 non-citizens were apprehended by DPS in Eagle Pass and more were caught by the Texas National Guard. The detention centers aim to ensure public safety, with ICE committed to returning those who exhaust legal options. Meanwhile, community efforts are ongoing to register voters ahead of the upcoming elections and address cancer among Latinos.
