It was only a matter of time.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been getting pressured by border counties to deport illegal immigrants coming across the border.
Up until today, Abbott has resisted, saying he would be breaking federal laws.
Today, Abbott finally gave in, ordering troops and Troopers to pack them up and take them back to the border.
Game On…
On Thursday, Abbott made it official… National Guard Troops and State Troopers are to take illegals back to the border.
Abbott, in announcing the order, stated, “The Biden administration’s decision to end Title 42 expulsions and the Remain-in-Mexico policy has led to historic levels of illegal crossings, with 5,000 migrants being apprehended over the July 4th weekend, creating a border crisis that has overrun communities along the border and across Texas.
“While President Biden refuses to do his job and enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress, the State of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented action to protect Americans and secure our southern border.
“The cartels have become emboldened and enriched by President Biden’s open border policies, smuggling in record numbers of people, weapons, and deadly drugs like fentanyl.”
Not so coincidentally, as Abbott was announcing this order, the Department of Justice launched what is clearly a politically motivated investigation against Abbott and Texas for Operation Lone Star.
The DOJ, in announcing the investigation, stated, “The Department is seeking this information after receiving information indicating that DPS may be discriminating on the basis of race and/or national origin in its activities related to Operation Lone Star by targeting certain individuals for arrests for misdemeanor trespass violations and traffic stops based on their perceived or actual race or national origin.”
So, here we go… let’s see who blinks first.
