Good thread, and also: San Francisco seems to serve a pretty similar purpose for midwesterners, either intentionally or as an ex post facto justification

a small Texas county found a way to make money off migrants: arrest them for trespassing, make them post bail to get out of jail, turn them over to ICE, collect forfeited bail money. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...
