Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says the state will provide migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border bus charters to Washington, D
FILE - National Guardsmen stands watch over a fence near the International bridge where thousands of Haitian migrants have created a makeshift camp, on Sept. 18, 2021, in Del Rio, Texas. Former Trump administration officials are pressing Republican border governors to declare an"invasion" along the U.S.-Mexico border. It comes as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he'll announce"unprecedented actions" on Wednesday to deter migrants coming to Texas. SAN ANTONIO — — Texas Gov.
The new directives amount to the"unprecedented actions" that Abbott promised in response to the Biden administration winding down a public health law – now set to expire in May –. When that happens, it is expected to draw more migrants to the southern border. Tom Homan, the former acting director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Trump, told an audience in San Antonio last week that he had spoken with Abbott about the idea.
Cuccinelli said in practice, he envisions the plan would look similar to the enforcement of Title 42, which circumvented U.S. obligations under American law and international treaty to provide asylum. He said he has not spoken with Abbott and said the current Texas border mission, known as Operation Lone Star, has put little dent in migration.
