Texas legislature advances 'Mayorkas model' providing limited border cooperation

  • The Texas legislature advanced SB 8 on Saturday, authorizing limited border security support focused on sheriffs operating jails.
  • The bill follows the Biden administration's Mayorkas jail-only 287 model, excluding broader field enforcement requested by the Trump administration.
  • SB 8 applies solely to sheriffs managing jails or contracting jail operations and does not cover state agencies or police departments.
  • As of May 29, 63 Texas sheriffs—about 25% of counties—have signed 287 agreements with ICE, while law enforcement across 40 states participates in the program.
  • Sheriffs leading task forces warn that sustaining efforts is crucial over the next four years to counter adaptive cartel activity amid expected federal policy reversals.
