Direction
Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Establishes a Homeland Security Division in DPS to lead coordination of border security operations with federal agencies, state agencies, and local governments, and to coordinate intelligence collection and analysis for border security, so more immigration enforcement.
The division shall, in collaboration with any other person who by law performs similar duties: (1) provide the strategic and operational planning for border security operations of this state; and (2) support the border security operations of this state by coordinating the law enforcement efforts of federal and state agencies, local governments, and private organizations and by ensuring clarity and alignment on the law enforcement priorities and responsibilities of each stakeholder.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a dedicated Homeland Security Division within DPS focused on border security planning, coordination with federal and state law enforcement, intelligence operations, and related programs like Operation Drawbridge; it also transfers existing border security centers to this division. These provisions expand state immigration enforcement through enhanced multi-agency coordination and operations. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
