When El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser declared an emergency over the weekend, it was a cry for help to the state of Texas for beds, buses, public safety and shelter support for the hundreds of migrants being legally released by Border Patrol each day.
Gov. Greg Abbott responded by sending soldiers to the El Paso border. They stationed Humvees, staged reams of concertina wire and gripped their rifles in the face of men, women and children seeking asylum.
The governor said Wednesday it is part of a “blockade” that will be extended along the El Paso border.
“Unfortunately, it represents the arrival of Operation Lone Star to the border in El Paso,” said Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights. “El Paso is one of the most welcoming cities in Texas. This is an attack on what El Paso represents.”
Morning Rusty and all....
Anyone hear about this? Not sure if it actually happened.
