CBP has permitted some Texas National Guard Troops to make immigration arrests as encounters along the border remain at historically low levels

President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government said the National Guard members had redeployed to 18 cities and towns along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a deal to delay U.S. tariffs.

The new policy is a result of a memorandum of understanding between Gov. Greg Abbott and the head of U.S Customs and Border Protection.
