Governor Greg Abbott announced the new position of Texas Border Czar to oversee security as the state faces a record number of illegal immigrants at the border.
Abbott Laboratories' Michigan plant, which was at the center of the U.S. baby formula shortage last year, faces a criminal investigation by the Justice Department, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Article IV, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution authorizes the governor to “call forth the militia to execute the laws of the state, to suppress insurrections, and to repel invasions.”
Texas Gov. Abbott referred to Biden's plan to end the Trump-era COVID border policy known as Title 42, which was upheld by the Supreme Court, as a "reckless decision."
Republican lawmakers are set to take on the environment, social, and governance (ESG) agenda this year, with multiple states like Florida, Indiana, and Oklahoma targeting the use of such policies for business purposes.
