Texas Shifts Border Strategy: Del Rio Booking Facility Closes, State Focuses Inland

Texas has quietly closed its last Operation Lone Star booking facility in Del Rio, marking a significant shift in its border enforcement strategy. The state is now moving away from these dedicated sites, booking individuals into local jails and increasingly focusing state police resources on interior immigration arrests far from the border. This change raises legal questions about jurisdiction, resource allocation, and the constitutional rights of individuals detained by state officials for federal immigration matters.
