New Texas AG Will Divert Law Enforcement From Arresting Illegal Aliens to Arresting ICE
Front Page Magazine ^ | 11/09/2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Illegal aliens and mass migration were always at the heart of the plan to flip Texas. Having flipped Texas, the new ruling class will ensure as much mass migration and as little deportations as possible because that is the source of their power.

And they’ve got plans to dismantle border security, free illegals and end statewide enforcement.

Ms. Hinojosa said she would review the effectiveness of Mr. Abbott’s multibillion-dollar border enforcement program, known as Operation Lone Star, and the financial incentives for private prison companies holding immigrant mothers and children.

Translation, she’ll appoint a committee of advocates for open borders to issue a reporting stating that border security is ineffective and that detaining illegal aliens doesn’t work, and open up the border and free as many illegal aliens to commit violence in Texas as possible.

The incoming state attorney general plans to dismantle law enforcement participation in immigration enforcement.

Mr. Johnson told The Times that he planned to assess the state’s participation in an ICE program that deputizes local and state officers to carry out immigration duties, and that he would consider withdrawing from it if he found it strained resources for other investigations and impeded state oversight.

“Consider”. Everyone knows what he’s going to do. This is the platform that the party ran on and has been running on for a generation. The pretense is obnoxious even by the standards of the New York Times.

But what will Nathan Johnson be focusing on? Preventing the construction of the border wall and prosecuting ICE personnel.

He envisioned his office as a line of defense for landowners resisting private border wall contractors from encroaching on their properties and parklands. In courtrooms, he promised the state’s forensic muscle and legal expertise to county prosecutors trying to build cases against federal agents accused of misconduct.

Arresting illegal aliens will divert resources from arresting ICE agents.

“If ICE is in here terrorizing communities and impeding the ability of local law enforcement to get information from, for example, Hispanic communities, their illegal actions are affecting the ability of law enforcement to keep people safe in my state,” he said. “I will have grounds to proceed on that basis.”

That’s not how the law or how anything works.

The federal government has the supreme right to engage in immigration policing whether or not Johnson deems it to be interfering with police community relations with cartel members and gang members.

But this marks the Californication of Texas. We’ll see how Texans react.

Hey Texas, you just voted for open borders, so next time an illegal alien murders a Texan, I wont shed one damn tear that is what they voted for. They looked at Alexis Nungaray, mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, and spit in her face

The answer to many of these things was the Republican Congress needed to make a lot of this nonsense illegal because it threatens the whole nation. And yes, the federal government can do that.
Same goes for states banning oil and gas development. z these are national security issues.

There are layers, and layers, and layers of presumption within that statement. He has no grounds to proceed at all. But I'm sure he doesn't care at all.

They can do that this year. Or they can go home and contemplate “what went wrong.”

They did the same thing to Trump in his first term they didn’t codify anything and they allowed Biden to destroy it all. I know they deal with the filibuster but at the same time many of them simply are not on our team.

The voters demanded this. Texas wants to be a blue state so now they can suffer the consequences of being a blue state. Maybe the next two years they’ll wake up and see what a mistake they made. I don’t think the federal government should get involved in all, let the motor suffer, every single consequence of their action. In fact, I want it so uncomfortable and horrible for the voters of Texas that they’ll never do this stupidity again.
