A memorandum of understanding between the State of Texas and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will give Texas National Guard soldiers the authority to make immigration arrests within the state, Breitbart reports.
“Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard continue to work together with the Trump Administration to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal activity between ports of entry,” a press release from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office read.
“Operation Lone Star continues working to undo the damage done by the Biden Administration. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to open border policies,” it added.
