Texas Gov. Abbott fires back after federal judge blocks executive order on migrant vehicles
Fox News
The office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott fired back Tuesday after a federal judge blocked his executive order calling for state troopers to stop drivers suspected of carrying illegal immigrants in hopes of containing the spread of the coronavirus.
"The Biden Administration has knowingly — and willfully — released COVID-19 positive migrants into Texas communities," the statement continued, "risking the potential exposure and infection of Texas residents. The Governor’s Executive Order attempts to prevent the Biden Administration from spreading COVID-19 into Texas and protect the health and safety of Texans." Abbott's order banned the transportation of migrants within Texas by anyone other than law enforcement, according to reports.More Related News
