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with President Joe Biden’s expansive Catch and Release operation and threatening a lawsuit if the order is not rescinded: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. [Emphasis added]

Deputize millions of armed Texans and have them stand shoulder to shoulder on the U.S. / Mexican border.
And tell Garland to go pound *hit.
Next, Garland will call it an “insurrection”, and worse than the Civil War. Biden will then chime in that Abbott is not as smart as he thought he was.
Merrick Garland is a prime example why we should shut down the law schools, and require that people serve apprenticeships before sitting for the bar exam. The truly scary thing is there are many more like him.
Ding... Ding... Ding... Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Head over to Bush’s Chicken and I’ll buy.
Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama facilitated the invasion.
Trump was the only one who tried to stop it.
That’s why both parties cheated him out.
I don’t think he understands exactly what Texas is doing.
Shoot the tires out!!!
Provision (c) authorizes "all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws" to arrest illegally entered aliens. Wouldn't that also include state police officers?

No officer or person shall have authority to make any arrests for a violation of any provision of this section except officers and employees of the Service designated by the Attorney General, either individually or as a member of a class, and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws.
Should it not matter that Biden wants to ignore the law when the law also authorizes all law enforcement officers to enforce the law at their own discretion?

The Communist Tyranny Is Growing Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
Not a single thing this administration is doing, has done, or will do is for the benefit of America. It’s all for the party. If the country needs to be destroyed and millions of people have to die? Party uber alles.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
There must be a word, somewhere in the English language, for a person who facilitates an invasion of their own country.
This was predicted 50 years ago in “The Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail.
He does understand, and he wants the invasion to continue without any hindrance.
Yes. A Democrat.
“How many divisions does Garland command?”
Roughly 100, at 20,000 per division, at least if one considers all of the armed people under Biden’s (or whoever’s command). Texas could likely muster up the same amount, but would lack the communications capability of the federal government. To put it another way, Texas will need outside help...and lots of it.
By that very same logic, it's probably "unlawful" for Texas to stop the bussing of armed Chicom infantry troops into the interior of the U.S.

Posse Comitatus was violated at Waco.
I realize that part but what he’s whining about has nothing to do with Federal Law, Abbott’s enforcing State Law. Texas is not stopping or interfering with any federal operation. The AG has no jurisdiction in this case.
