White House blasts Gov. Greg Abbott for 'political theater' in deploying 450 more national guard troops to the border.
“There’s a way to handle those types of announcements and the governor knows this,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “That’s by coordinating with federal authorities, something that he refuses to do.”When Texas began sending migrants out of state, the first buses dropped off passengers near the U.S. Capitol. The conservative news network was alerted. The Biden administration was not.
Last week, Biden ordered an additional 1,500 troops to the Southern border to free up border agents ahead of a surge expected to begin after Thursday, when Title 42 expires.Then-President Donald Trump invoked that emergency public health power early in the COVID-19 pandemic to allow for quick expulsion of migrants. Since March 2020, it’s been used more than 2.7 million times.Homeland security officials have said border encounters could hit 10,000 a day — double the number in March.
