Border Patrol in West Texas Faces Tightening Restraints
Marfa Sector chief Hugh Rushton describes a thinner green line on the Texas border as a temporary moratorium on apprehensions curbs Border Patrol efforts. He cites 30 to 65 percent drops in arrests since spring policy changes and explains new rules hinder arrests at workplaces and homes. He notes the Odessa Midland oil region fueling illegal crossings and describes changes in bus deportations, smuggling methods, and the difficulty of tracing smugglers.
