Governor Abbott Orders Texas National Guard To Assist Texas Department Of Public Safety In Making Arrests Related To Border Crisis
It’s not as if our national crisis at our southern border is a big secret, in fact it is well known that the federal government under the radical left is taking part in human trafficking as they allow daily floods of illegal aliens to easily cross into our nation.
The U.S. states along our southern border will need to do their own policing and figure out how to at least lock down their states from the mass flooding of illegal aliens.
One such state has been working diligently on doing just that…. TEXAS!
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday ordered the state’s National Guard members to assist the Department of Public Safety (DPS) in arresting illegal immigrants at the US.-Mexico border who break state laws, Fox News reports.
Abbott’s order was included in a letter sent to Major Gen. Tracy R. Norris of the Texas Military Department. (See entire announcement and letter below)
The order expands on Abbott’s June disaster declaration, which directed the DPS to enforce all federal and state criminal laws, including those on criminal trespassing, smuggling, and human trafficking. That declaration had allowed the use of all available state resources to assist state and local law enforcement in protecting Texans from “criminal activity and property damage.”
“To respond to this disaster and secure the rule of law at our Southern border, more manpower is needed,” Abbott wrote in the letter. “DPS needs help in arresting those who are violating state law. … I hereby order that the Texas National Guard assist DPS in enforcing Texas law by arresting lawbreakers at the border.”
What is unclear is what the exact role will be as well as if the National Guardsmen will be armed and be unchained to do their duty to go after and detain the illegals or if they will just be in a “support” role to the other authorities currently at the border.
As AP News explains:
Abbott said the Guard would “assist” troopers with arresting migrants on state charges but offered no details — making the extent of the new role unclear. The National Guard has kept a presence on the nation’s southern border for years but has largely been assigned to observational posts.
The announcement comes as Texas this month began jailing migrants caught entering private land, part of a broader campaign by Abbott to toughen border enforcement and take Donald Trump’s hardline mantle on immigration as the number of crossings remain high.
Hopefully Texas will allow the National Guardsmen full reign to track down and detain the illegal aliens and if needed, be armed for self -defense reasons.
The order comes as the Biden administration tackles a surge in migration and illegal contraband at the border. Critics have blamed the surge on a rollback of Trump-era border policies and enforcement, while the Biden administration has blamed the Trump administration and “root causes” in Central America.
“President Biden’s open-border policies have paved the way for dangerous gangs and cartels, human traffickers, and deadly drugs like fentanyl to pour into our communities,” Abbott said in a statement last month.
In June, border authorities stopped 188,829 attempted crossings, which was the highest this year, according to the Texas Tribune. The previous high of 180,641 was set in May.
Abbott, a Republican, held a security briefing at the Texas Statehouse in Austin this month, where sheriffs from local communities expressed their need for more manpower, more jail space, and more judges, FOX 7 of Austin reported.
“People think that this is a border-related issue and it is, but this is also an issue that affects counties across the entire state of Texas,” said Abbott.
This move is desperately needed as the illegal aliens that cross daily into our nation as well as those who are shipped all over the U.S. by DHS are not checked for COVID or any other diseases or illnesses they may have.
Here is the official press release:
Governor Abbott Orders Texas National Guard To Assist Texas Department Of Public Safety In Making Arrests Related To Border Crisis
Governor Greg Abbott today sent a letter to Major General Tracy R. Norris, Adjutant General of the Texas National Guard, ordering guardsmen to assist the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) with arresting individuals for state charges related to the border crisis.
During the Governor’s Border Security Summit in Del Rio in mid-June, the Governor announced that individuals who commit criminal trespass or other state offenses will be subject to arrest and confinement. This order builds upon the Governor’s disaster declaration that directs DPS to enforce all federal and state criminal laws including for criminal trespassing, smuggling, and human trafficking.
“To respond to this disaster and secure the rule of law at our Southern border, more manpower is needed—in addition to the troopers from DPS and soldiers from the Texas National Guard I have already deployed there—and DPS needs help in arresting those who are violating state law,” reads the letter. “By virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, I hereby order that the Texas National Guard assist DPS in enforcing Texas law by arresting lawbreakers at the border.”
