(The Center Square) â Texas is seeing a crime surge as a result of the Biden administrationâs open border policies, state Attorney General Ken Paxton said at a news conference Wednesday in Mission.
Paxton was accompanied by state police officers, border patrol agents and several sheriffs to raise awareness about the surge.
Paxton, who has sued the Biden administration five times over immigration policies since January, has been meeting with law enforcement officials across the state.
Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon spoke about the impact of crime caused by illegal immigrants in his county of 19,000 residents located 275 miles from the border. Since January, his deputies have been involved on a regular basis in high-speed pursuits and increased crime, explaining it is âa burden and a strain on our community having to deal with this.â
