Texas Governor Greg Abbott has defied President Joe Biden and ordered the Texas National Guard to start arresting migrants in Texas, and returning them to the Mexico border.
On Saturday, Abbott slammed the president, saying: 'Biden's border policies are crushing local communities up and down the border.'
He added that the Texas Department of Public Safety has already started making arrests after his executive order came into effect on July 7.
It's unclear how many migrants have been arrested since then, but photos posted by Abbott and the Texas DPS show a handful of illegal immigrants being rounded up and loaded into a waiting bus before being taken back to the Mexico border.
Members of National Guard and the Texas DPS have been charged with implementing the policy, according to the governor's office.
In total, around 10,000 officers and soldiers have been deployed. Texas shares a more than 1,200 mile long border with Mexico.
Abbott has also criticized Biden for 'refusing to do his job' and said that the he was failing to 'enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress.'
The governor added: 'The cartels have become emboldened and enriched by President Biden's open border policies, smuggling in record numbers of people, weapons, and deadly drugs like fentanyl.'
Abbott's anti-illegal immigration plan, named Operation Lone Star, was first unveiled in March 2021.
On his official website, Abbott lists the apparent achievements of Operation Lone Star in fighting illegal immigration in his state.
Among those, Abbott lists securing $4 billion in funding for Texas' border security efforts, signing 15 laws cracking down on human trafficking in Texas and creating 'strike teams and establishing' new vehicle inspection checkpoints targeting semi-truck.'

I’m sure we’ll get a statement from one of the Bush scumbags condemning Abbott.
Maybe Jeb! can sell some more $1 guacamole bowls for $75.
They probably bought them for 5-10 cents apiece.
Abbott should deport his goblin wife.
W has been such a huge disappointment.
And this whole ball of disaster really got going on his watch - (2nd term).
Glad his nephew got slaughtered in the primary. No more Bushes, Cheneys, Clintons, nor Obamas. Maybe Hunter will run for office. Hahahaha!
Would love to see the Wookie run and get slaughtered.
Stay out da Bushes!!
