What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Lubbock County commissioners voted 3-2 to approve three 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. These agreements allow trained and certified constables from Precincts 1, 2, and 4 to perform certain immigration enforcement duties under ICE supervision. The agreement grants certified officers broader authority, including the power to arrest people without a warrant under certain conditions.
