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."

We have to get shots and wear masks, and they can come and go as they please, completely immune to our laws.

SCOTUS proved last January that their only concerns are cocktail parties and their upcoming retirement benefits. Texas will lose this case.

I hope he stands firm enough to see what in the heck they can actually do! Sue the State? For what? Arrest the Gov? Not gonna happen because it’ll make them look like thugs (even though they are). Send in troops... well, that would be a whole nother thing right there.

We are so lucky that that Nazi Garland isn’t on the USSC. On top of his libero-fascism he is using his position to wreak vengeance on everyone he perceives kept him off the court. What a vile person.

So, this means that the democrat’s Preatorium Pelosi Guard of their DOJ-CIA-FBI-DHS will NOT be able enforce their own CDC-NYC-BOSTON-PORTLAND-LA-SFO rules about Covid mask vaccine enforcement?

Remember, this is a guy they tried to tell us was a little left leaning but basically middle of the road when Obama nominated him for SCOTUS. Hardcore leftist.

This would be a great opportunity for President Trump to point out that he would never threaten Texas for doing this, that on the contrary he’d be helping them.

Just a thought.

Our military’s been scattered all over the globe for decades, during those decades the United States has been invaded by tens of millions.
