WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday warned Texas Governor Greg Abbott to "immediately rescind" a new executive order aimed at curbing the travel into the state of undocumented immigrants who may pose a risk of transmitting COVID-19.

"The order violates federal law in numerous respects, and Texas cannot lawfully enforce the executive order against any federal official or private parties working with the United States," Garland told Abbott in a letter.

He added that if Texas continues to implement the ground restrictions on migrants, then the Justice Department will "pursue all appropriate legal remedies."

No, but if you’re looking to be lied to about that, listen to “Hannity.”

OK Garland, take the state of Texas to court.

A Fifth District Federal Court.

Endless bluster and bullshit.

The was an article posted about a year or two ago where a military strategist war gamed out the scenarios for different states. TEXAS drove all the way to Commifornia and a good ways east. We have a big port, our own electric grid, the mother of all oil and gas resources, food resources,and lots of military bases and hardware.

>>Illegals violate the law and our dictator tells us it’s illegal to stop them.<<

The federal government is violating the law. Figger that one out. They pass the laws, then break the laws.

Hmmm

Texas will lose this case.

hold my beer while I dust off this old document...

U.S. Constitution: Article 4, Section 4

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Okay, folks: Where is the Texas Legislature right now?

...on, and when they say 'Executive' up there, they mean Greg Abbott. If I were Texas, I wouldn't even go to court. One move by the feds, and I'd order sheriff's to start deputizing people.

just my $0.02 (see tagline)

jimjohn - OUT

Paxton the AG of Texas is a fighter he won’t go down easily I hope Garland is ready for a REAL FIGHT, I don’t believe a previous poster who said Texas will lose this fight, we have a constitution and ILLEGAL immigration IS ILLEGAL but right now it is also putting American citizens in jeopardy!! Trump SHUT DOWN the border completely because of this virus and he WON at the SC!!!

Very nice post. I’d settle for a couple of hundred of you and a couple hundred of Clarence Thomas and a few dozen of Sam Alito to interpret the Constitution and populate Congress and the higher ranks of the executive branch

There was a letter to the NYTimes ca 1877 after the Times was taking the Indian side of an Indian-Texan dust up that was signed “Texas” with the gem of a line:

“Send us Phil Sheridan and send philanthropy to the devil.”
