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."

Covid infected illegals violate the law. Let’s be clear about it.

It needs to get real nasty and the sooner the better. Biden is out of control, covid control and illegal vaccine and mask mandates are out of control.

Country is going top hell quicker than I ever imagined and the problem is the federal government and any liberal state governors.

He’s enthusiastic enough about it. Anyone with integrity and respect for the Constitution would say no. He’s an actor not a meek follower. At least as evil as Janet Reno.

“ Send in troops... well, that would be a whole nother thing right there.”

With all the military we have in Texas, the government will back down.

Laws are supposed to be applied fairly, and equally. How can Garland explain forcing American Citizens to comply with those laws, but letting a separate group of people to bypass those same laws?

Maybe if we gave the Capitol police therapy puppies or llamas they would be up for invading Texas. It would be a mistake of catastrophic proportions but That wouldn’t stop Biden from ordering it.

Good, good. I want this to escalate.

Let Puppet Biden send troops to fight the Texas National Guard in the state of Texas. The feds will be destroyed.

Note to Biden, Texas has F15 jets and nuclear weapons. Bring it on.
