"I write this letter to inform Texans of the current crisis we are facing on our border and ask that we come together in forming a solution," Coe wrote, in a letter shared by reporter Ali Bradley. "The border crisis that Texans faced last year rages on and has now impacted many of your homes and has rendered every Texas county a border county."
Coe thanked sheriffs in Texas who have already lent support — but warned it would not be enough, writing, "Both Galveston County and Goliad County have graciously aided our efforts in the field, however, resources and manpower are stretched to the breaking point to successfully maintain operations."
