DOJ threatens to sue Texas if border law is enforced

The Department of Justice (DOJ) warned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) it will sue Texas if he enforces a new state law that allows for the prosecution and deportation of migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico, according to a letter obtained by The Hill.

Abbott signed the legislation earlier this month, citing the increased number of migrant encounters at the U.S. southern border.

The law, set to take effect March 5, allows any Texas law enforcement officer to arrest those suspected of illegal entry into the country. Once arrested, migrants must either agree to a judge’s order to leave the U.S. or face misdemeanor charges of illegal entry.

Tell the DOJ to get bent

[GOPJ]

The DOJ has been infiltrated. And while this is happening Biden’s goons and thug are down in Mexico working to keep our borders open and granting amnesty.

Seems like everyone bought the goons running DC - other than us - the American people.

Oh my, Democrats not liking their slaves being taken away again.

Come on Abbott, we have been under invasion for years and you continue to do very little. Call up the National Guard, issue riot shields, water cannon, etc and physically push all invaders back across and keep them across. Keep full loads of ammo ready too so when the cartels take a shot, take them out with attack helicopters or similar. Shut the entire border to all traffic and keep it shut. If the Feds complain, have the guts to defend Texas by forcing a Constitutional Crisis by standing up the Feds while keeping the border closed, 100% closed. And if the Feds want to send the Army to engage, stand up to them.

The Gestapo and the SS are hell bent on getting as many illegals into this country as possible for the next election.

It's been that way for 70 years. Even Trump can't make a difference as there is no one to execute the orders.

This is what Deep State threatens in public.

What does TX do if, in private, Deep State threatens to yank federal money going to TX?

Do Texans have a plan for that...?

(crickets)

[thinden]

let’s see now.

DOJ is suing Texass for doing the job the USGummit has sworn an oath to protect our borders????

[mewzilla]

BTW, I’m not just blasting Texas and Texans.

AFAIK, no state in the union has had the b@lls or the brains to address this.

[Gay State Conservative]

I hope Abbott pursues this.Of course he'll lose in the courts but he'll give DJT a great campaign theme to work with.

Another Trial where the Biden name can’t be used. Add it to the list where Joe and his boys are protected.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Merrydick’s DOJ is the new KKK. Let the bitches sue and then we’ll countersue for their failure to defend and protect the United States against foreign aggression and then we’ll throw their goatsmellin’ asses in prison. Remember, the U.S. Government belongs to US, not those bastards.

[MortMan]

They tried to enforce federal law.

[mewzilla]

I’ll just toss this in, from a couple of weeks ago...

Ignore the enemedia spin and focus on the numbers.

And keep in mind that, IIRC, 90% of Tx’s Medicaid expansion is being funded by Deep State.

Unless people decide to take our country back, we are lost...We older folks just can’t do it ourselves....

[Ingtar]

They leave out the most expedient way to beat the arrest, show you are a citizen or here legally... oh...
