Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) deployed a “tactical border force” to “intercept, to repel and to turn back migrants” attempting to cross illegally.
The statement came during a news conference.
Governor Abbott noted the border will become a “catastrophic disaster” as Title 42 expires.
Reporting from Newsmax:
Texas has been pummeled by the surges of border crossings, and expects to be the most affected when the Title 42 expulsion power ends, the Washington Times reported. The Department of Homeland Security has said it expects up to 13,000 people a day, or roughly twice the rate that came in March — shattering already record numbers who've streamed into the country illegally in recent years.
