Abbott stays one step ahead of the mob amid Lone Star and Uvalde fallout.
At the"What Happened in Uvalde" panel at TribFest Sept. 22: Eva Guzman, former Justice of the Texas Supreme Court; Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock; and Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso
Some filmmaker – David O. Russell, Adam McKay, one of our local guys – should already be thinking about how to tell the story of Operation Lone Star, Gov. Greg Abbott's MAGA megastunt to ensure his reelection by fomenting chaos, uncertainty, and fear along the Texas-Mexico border.
The goods, in summary, as presented by journalists Perla Trevizo, Lomi Kriel, Jolie McCullough, James Barragán, and Davis Winkie: Yes, there is a major ongoing surge in migration across the U.S. southern border.
This has all gone pear-shaped in multiple ways. The bright idea to prosecute unauthorized border crossers for criminal trespass has completely overwhelmed small-town courts and jails with thousands of cases for defendants who often were deported months ago, or who are now being detained in state prisons that had to be completely emptied of inmates to house border crossers.
The TribFest session with the three-member Texas House panel investigating the massacre – Reps. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, and Joe Moody, D-El Paso, and former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman – did not bring much sunshine.
