In a recent interview, Mayor Victor Trevino of Loretto, Texas expressed his concerns about the new measures passed by Governor Greg Abbott, including Senate Bill 4 (SB4). SB4 requires local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Mayor Trevino, however, has been critical of these measures, citing the need for clear guidance on which laws to follow and the lack of immigration training for local police.
The mayor emphasized the confusion caused by conflicting federal and state laws, stating, 'There's federal laws and then there's state laws. And they're not on the same page.' This dilemma leaves local authorities uncertain about how to navigate the intricacies of immigration enforcement.
