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."

So why would they give a rat's hindquarters about something as comparatively unimportant as an invasion by tens of thousands of hostile,dangerous aliens?
I said that Texas *would* lose this case...not that they *should*.
DOJ has 50,000 employees. =And not a single, honest, whistleblower while Trump was POTUS.
I don’t give a damn about any Federal laws that make the invasion of Texas by diseased illegal aliens, 10,000 per day, ok for Mr. Communist Red China Owned GARLAND.
WILL NOT COMPLY
You sound like an honey pot agitator. We don’t have to or want to, take on the military. We are the military. Look at where most combat officers come from.
If Abbott has any nads, he will tell scumbag Merrick Garland to blow it out his a$$.
I really hope that Abbott sticks to his guns.
The feds are content to let invaders run wild all over our state.
If the feds won’t do their job it falls to our law enforcement to do their job.
THAT is NOT what I meant!
CW II is trending?
Austin?
This will not end well.
CW II?
If Abbott orders Texas rangers to arrest and jail any fed not complying with Texas law, I’ll take back everything bad I’ve ever said about him.
Unfortunately, I really do NOT think that is very likely.
//Any idea how this interferes with the implementation of federal immigration law????
Who gives a damn? The democrats already opened up this can of worms with their ‘sanctuary’ crap, and de-facto legalization of pot. Right now, Texas can tell the Feds to stuff it. Personally, I’d load them up in the cargo space of national guard planes and take them to DC. Dump them out on the tarmac, and fly back to Texas for more.
Either that or dump them in Mexico City, with or without landing.
//I once heard that Texas has it written onto their Constitution that they can split the state into four new states.
It was the treaty between the Texas Republic and the US. If the Feral government is going to say that treaty is invalid, then Texas is no longer a part of the U.S.
If you violate state law, you go to state jail even if your are a federal agent. Lock them up on a Friday with a court date for Monday morning. No bail due them being a flight risk.
Hypothetically, what would happen if a Texas federal judge determines that the DHS is violating the laws, (plural), concerning ignoring CDC and state health directives, federal laws concerning arresting and immediately deporting illegal immigrants who are Covid positive, and other federal laws and then orders the DHS to be put under court supervision with a court appointed overseer. (This would be similar to the situations numerous police departments are in with the DOJ).
Obviously such a situation would immediately be appealed all the way to the USSC. It would be a riot to watch.
I think the DOJ may regret trying to threaten Texas since they are in violation of numerous immigration laws at this time.
I just pray that our Governor puts a stop to this crap. Here in Houston, we are completely overrun with illegals. About 2/3rds of the HISD students are Hispanic. 9% white.
It is easier to drive in Cairo. None of these immigrants ever went to driving school.
Assault and robbery are skyrocketing. This is a very very dangerous situation. And, we have a shooting war-battle on city streets 300 miles away, just across the border.
Texas can no longer wait for Fed Gov. Atty General Marxist can spend as much time in court as he wants while we clean up DC’s mess here in Texas.
LOL.
No such thing. I am sick and tired of the communist DemonRats and all their crap. Texas can kick the USA’s butt, and I think it is time for us to stand up and tell them so.
To a Demonrat, middle of the road IS a hardcore Stalinazi.
“... Bottom line of this narrative shift… vaccinations don’t work. Everything goes back to square one. Blame Trump, not us.”
If Austin, I’d want to man a canon battery. Lol
