Authorities, on Thursday, announced that at least 10 People had been Arrested at the Border.
Abbott First announced his Plans to Crack Down on Border Crossings in June, along with a Commitment to follow through on Trump's Promise to complete Building a Wall at the Southern Border, with a Fence.
A Spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, said that an Empty State Prison in Dilley, Texas, is being used to hold Detainees, with the Expectation that up to 950 People can be held at the Facility.
Nearly all of the Arrests so far have been Single Adult Men, Val Verde County Attorney, David Martinez, said. He also was Advised that the Number of Arrests could reach 100 or 200 a day.
"[Those numbers] would overwhelm not only my office, but our entire system pretty quickly," Martinez said.
He also Specified that Families will Not be Arrested if they are caught Trespassing.
"If John Doe is caught on my property and he has his wife and his children with him, chances are he's not going to be arrested," Martinez said. "That's what's been represented to me."
Abbott has reportedly focused much of his Criticism on President Biden's handling of the Influx of Migrants coming to the Border on Val Verde County. The state jail commission has worked out a way to jail far more people that are currently being jailed," he reportedly said during a Saturday Visit to the area.
A
bbott also said that he anticipated People who are Arrested to spend time behind bars, though Martinez said that he would handle Cases a bit differently.
"My office is working really hard to try to minimize the amount of time that they have to sit in that jail," he said.
