One sheriff’s struggle to cover miles of desert border ground | Rush Hour

Brewster County, the largest county in the state of Texas, is home to 192 linear miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. It’s a hard stretch of land for the local police and border patrol to cover and it’s a treacherous one to cross. “You can’t carry enough water on you to make through here without some kind of aid,” Sheriff Ronny Dodson said. Dodson has been the sheriff of Brewster County since 2001. The single county alone is larger geographically than Connecticut, laying claim to more than 6,000 acres on the border. The mountains and more than 100 miles of the desert make it the most dangerous for migrant crossers.
