DEL RIO, Texas—After receiving a deluge of calls from concerned citizens, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) issued an information sheet outlining the laws regarding use of force and illegal immigration for citizens, private property owners, and law enforcement.

“Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are pouring over our border,” Paxton said in a statement on Jan. 25. “They are temporarily detained—if at all—before being released, and then make their way through your counties, cities, and property. They bring with them property destruction, theft, financial costs, risks of disease, crime, and the cartels.”
