Hidalgo County District Attorney Terry Palacios has voiced concerns about Senate Bill 4, which permits state and local law enforcement to arrest individuals suspected of illegal border crossings. Palacios warned that this could strain local resources, as housing and feeding undocumented immigrants will incur significant costs. He noted that the Hidalgo County Jail is already over capacity by 550 inmates, raising concerns about the potential influx of new detainees. Despite his reservations, Palacios stated that his office will enforce the law and work to expedite cases to minimize the financial burden on taxpayers.
