TX AG Paxton demands Dallas sheriff pursue ICE agreement as deadline dispute sparks legal threat

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demands Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown to comply with a state law requiring cooperation with federal immigration authorities, warning of legal action if she fails to act. The dispute stems from Senate Bill 8, which requires sheriffs in counties that operate jails to seek agreements with ICE. Paxton has demanded that Brown report efforts to secure an agreement before June 1.
