Attorney General Merrick Garland says it is “dangerous and unlawful” for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to stop the federal government’s bussing of border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the United States.
This week, Abbott issued an executive order that bans local, state, and federal law enforcement officers from providing ground transportation for border crossers and illegal aliens who have been detained by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or who have been ordered removed under the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Title 42 authority.
The order also allows Texas state troopers to “stop any vehicle upon reasonable suspicion” of transporting border crossers and illegal aliens and “to reroute such a vehicle back to its point of origin or a port of entry if a violation is confirmed” as well as allowing state troopers to impound vehicles that are caught violating the order.
In response, Garland wrote a letter to Abbott in which he claims Texas does not have a right to interfere with President Joe Biden’s expansive Catch and Release operation and threatening a lawsuit if the order is not rescinded:
I urge you to immediately rescind Executive Order GA 3 7, entitled Relating to the transportation of migrants during the COVID-19 disaster. The Order purports to mandate that “[n]o person, other than a federal, state, or local law-enforcement official, shall provide ground transportation to a group of migrants who have been detained by [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] for crossing the border illegally or who would have been subject to expulsion under the Title 42 order.” As explained below, the Order is both dangerous and unlawful.

In New America, unlawful is a very subjective term.
It’s an upside down world....
Well said.
Word gets around, MORE are coming. Prepare Ye the Way.
Get them Teas! GO!
🤡🤡🤡🌎🌍🌏
Gov. Abbott only need point to the Constitution’s guarantee that states will be protected from invasion.
Clear dereliction of duty requires states to do it themselves.
How many divisions does Garland command?
[unlawful] == [anything the ruling class finds troublesome]
up is down
white is black
sweet is salty
rich is poor
fat is thin
jabs are healthy
Biden is wicked smart
Cuomo cares about the elderly
yeah, totally cool to have MILLIONS of illegals pour into this country with covid, monkey pox and God knows what else but hey its all about America becoming a 1 party Communist state, not that far off
Don’t F+++ With TEXAS, douche nozzle.
What does illegal border crossing have to do with immigration?
Of all the people who should “give back to the community” it’s these illegally imported migrants coming in through our southern border. I don’t want to hear how important it is for actual US citizens to “give back” and “pay it forward”, etc. Come on, man!
A state is not required to participate in a crime.
Texas cannot be compelled to comply legally, and if the
feds try to commit a crime on Texas soil, the state would
be on the hook to oppose them. Otherwise it becomes a
party to a crime.
We have immigration laws, and the Feds are violating those
laws.
Garland is therefore in violation of the law.
Do you mean “How many targets....?”
It’s unlawful to bus them in too.
OK, well you better do something about it asshole
They could come down and try to stop Texas protecting their bordrs and doing fedgov’s constitutinal job that they are purposefully not doing.
