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."

I predict that if Abbott stands firm, many states will join him. If he folds his future as Texas governor is over.

It is extremely difficult to sue the government, not to mention winning. I learned this early on in my activist days (early ninties).

What do we owe him for the 20 republican votes in favor of his successful appointment as AG? He could have controlled the vote of all but 6 or seven, if he had wanted to.

We are so lucky that that Nazi Garland isn’t on the USSC...

I found myself thanking God for that during his hearings. What a twisted up little man. And he must be quite educated, but comes off as seriously dumb.

But does he do more damage, now, as Biteme's AG?

“Texas will lose this case.”

*****

Then Texas needs to say we are not doing what the SCOTUS says, either.

Garland said the order "would jeopardize the health and safety of noncitizens in federal government custody" and it will also interfere with the implementation of federal immigration law.

Any idea how this interferes with the implementation of federal immigration law????

He didn’t go far enough, imho. Did he say they couldn’t be dumped there, by anyone? ‘Cause he should have.

Our Gov needs to use a revised historical quote to respond to this threat:

“Ya’ll can go to hell, I’m going to protect Texas and Texans”

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.


Agree

The Feds don't dictate trespassing laws on state and private property. The Feds also can't create easements throughout the country that says ILLEGAL aliens have the right to travel across.

If the Feds really want to play the "invite the COVID-19 illegals in", let them go to their home countries and bring them in, dropping them off in Washington DC. Texas property is Texas property.

Just arrest any Dementia Joe officials who attempt to break this law. Dump them in jail.

The Feds no longer have standing. Once they allowed “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States” for illegal aliens, any city and or any state can exempt themselves from any Federal law they wish.
