A Texas border sheriff has changed his mind due to a crime spike in his area and says he will now work with state officials to apprehend migrants who commit trespassing violations, the Washington Examiner reported.
Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber initially chose not to take part in Gov. Greg Abbott’s effort to arrest migrants on state charges because Texas police and courts have no jurisdiction over federal immigration law.
"The state’s been after me for a few months," Schmerber told the Examiner. "I hesitated for about two months. What kind of pushed me to really was because there were more things that were happening.
"I didn't see migrants coming in and just moving on. I saw immigrants get into houses, breaking in, damaging, taking things. I started getting calls from ranchers about all the damage they were doing — calls from neighborhoods close to the city about breaking in, taking things."
Schmerber also cited a recent incident in which a Honduran man broke into the home of a 73-year-old woman and sexually assaulted her.
U.S. border authorities encountered more than 259,000 people who illegally attempted to cross the border in the Del Rio region, which includes Maverick County, during fiscal year 2021 that ended in September. About 40,000 people were encountered the previous year.
The White House, stung by President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings, is blaming the press for some of its woes, The Hill is reporting.
Biden’s ratings have sparked fears among Democrats over the president’s weakened clout ahead of next year’s midterms, the outlet noted.
More than 60 liberal groups on Thursday urged the media for more balanced coverage of Biden.
"Please consider and swiftly address your role in promoting this widespread, destructive pattern of reporting," the groups said in a letter to the media. "Not only is it doing harm to our democracy, but it is also harming your reputation as journalists and that of the news outlets you represent."
Numerous administration officials have shared an opinion piece by Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, who wrote last week that the media treats Biden as badly as — or worse than — Donald Trump when he was in the White House.
It is hard to think of anything more pathetic than this but there's still three years left
