Abbott's administration has installed thousands of cameras on the wall built along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Texas has deployed thousands of cameras to the U.S. southern border as Governor Greg Abbott continues to find new ways to curb migration into his state.The cameras, according to a report from NewsNation's Ali Bradley, are a part of Abbott's Operation Lone Star, which was launched in 2021. At least 7,600 cameras have been sent to the border, and around 1,000 have been attached to the wall built by Abbott's administration between the U.S. and Mexico.
The Biden administration has sued Texas over the buoys and its use of razor wire along the border, claiming that they also obstruct federal law enforcement from safely reaching migrants attempting to cross the border. The White House also sued Texas to block a law signed by Abbott that would allow state and local law enforcement to detain and deport individuals suspected of crossing the border illegally. That suit is still being decided in court.
