This is exactly the kind of cop-ICE collaboration we’ve been warning about. Local Robstown police straight-up lied to lure Marina Claros outside Lucy’s Tacos so they could hand her to ICE, ripping a working mom away from her severely disabled son.
The family is in crisis, lost wages, bills piling up, care needs, and legal fight ahead.

“Sheriffs” and “police” aren’t quite the same thing. Sheriffs are elected, but police commissioners are appointed/hired by the mayor (or similar chief executive official.) The news anchor says she was duped by a “police officer,” not a “sheriff’s deputy.”
(Yes, it is weird and fucked-up that we have a bunch of different kinds of law enforcement with overlapping jurisdictions and responsibilities, thanks for asking!)
