Abbott's invasion declaration without deportation is just catch and release on the state level: Ken Cuccinelli
Fox News
Texas Gov. Abbott invoked the invasion clause of the U.S. and Texas constitutions to curtail migration, but Ken Cuccinelli says the declaration changes nothing.
"If the goal is actually to reduce the harm to Texas, then he needs to start using the invasion authority to return people to Mexico," said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as a Department of Homeland Security acting deputy secretary under former President Trump. "He hasn't done anything but talk about the invasion authority." Jon Michael Raasch is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.
"This is just catch-and-release with state officials," Cuccinelli continued. "Everybody knows an invasion exists, but to actually repel it … means putting people crossing the border back into Mexico."
