Old Man got a reaction from Pariah in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
Note that 'purported immigrants' covers anyone in all of Texas that LEOs think might have immigrated illegally. It's a "papers please" law except that they might ignore your papers anyway.
Federal power to determine immigration law is usually held to derive from the Congressional power to determine citizenship, as enumerated in the Constitution. Instead this SCOTUS, which last week was wringing its hands about the possibility of a patchwork of state laws for federal elections, allowed Texas to implement its own immigration law.

You voted for Trump--this is what you voted for.

True gaming story: Long ago (roughly 2005, IIRC) our group was playing a Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign and i proposed building a device based exactly on this sort of thing. A binocular watch camera, one arm of which included a mirror, while the other was pure refractive optics. Since it would have stopped the GM's so-called plot in its tracks, he stonewalled it, even after I pointed to available off-the-shelf optics and gave URL pointers to astronomy image analysis software that would be able to do the almost-real-time image comparisons for detection of vampires.

Sheriff Black needs a deputy. On Twin Peaks, Andy was a comedic deputy. I think we need one of those.

The jail cell opened, "Prisoner DeMara, someone wants to see you. Government agent of some sort...pulled rank and who knows what."
The prisoner smoothed out her ugly outfit. Whoever said 'orange was the new black' with a serious face was out of their mind. She rose cautiously "Am I being transfered to a superprison? I don't even have my gear"
"I don't know" the guard says.
"it's not a transfer to an Asylum is it? I really did go into the future, I didn't imagine that" DeMara swallowed.
"Allow me to change my answer" The guard shrugged, a look of almost aggressive apathy on her face, "I don't care. Now, get moving."
With that, Prisoner DeMara was walked to a room and pressed into a seat at a table.
"Thank you, Guard. I'll take it from here," Spider-Woman observed, then she looked over the woman before her while the guard left and locked the door behind her.
"Spider-Woman? I don't think we've met," The prisoner said, "If the Wasp sent you, I will apologize as many times as..."
Spider-Woman held up a hand, "Rumor has it, you time traveled. Joined a Group Called the Guardians of the Galaxy. Looked at their files."
"Yeah," DeMara said cautiously, "You... you believe me?"
"I know you're good at computers and electronics," Spider-Woman replied, "ANd I suspect you are sitting on a treasure trove of data from the future. Stored somewhere cell sized in that suit your stole. It would take us years to find it. Normally I'd be worried about the integrity of the time line, but..." She slid a picture forward. On it was the image of an old man, "Do you know this man?"
DeMara cursed, "That's Doc Brown, he's a menace! He and that hoverboard kid!"
"Says the woman who is playing fast and loose with temporal ethics," Spider-Woman nodded, "Would this file have information on how to take out Kryptonians?"
The prisoner started to explain, for the thirty second time that she returned to HELP the Avengers only to end up looking like a mad woman when all turned out okay but at the word Kryptonian her eyes widened, "Maybe. With the data in there you might be able to synthesize Kryptonite. It's not my specialty."
"Mmm you get your suit back, but..." Spider Woman said "I've put a tracker on it YOU won't be able to find easily. So.. until I get the data I want, and the rest of that file WILL be destroyed, you're on a work furlough program" She slid a suit case forward.
Rita DeMara opened it to see the uniform and helmet that had been the source of so many opportunities in her life, and at least as many problems.
Spider-Woman smirked, "Welcome back to the heroics side, Yellowjacket, now, get dressed"
Well, it was a step up from orange!
