Boy, for a state which prides itself for its self-reliance and independence, Texas sure does depend upon the federal government and its neighboring states a lot.
This is more a “the cruelty is the point” situation. Dividing up families, keeping prisoners out of reach of their lawyers, and ferreting away anyone who might implicate the state in liability for criminal abuse is what’s driving a lot of this.
The goal is to convince people to “self-deport” rather than endure a Kafka-esque legal state.
