Texas Gov. Greg Abbott plans to travel to a U.S.-Mexico border city in his state on Thursday to draw attention to the topic of smuggling by drug cartels, among other issues.
"President Biden’s open border policies invite children to take a dangerous trek that exposes them to human trafficking," Abbott wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. "Even Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas admitted that many children don’t make it through without harm." The governor will discuss Operation Lone Star, the plan he launched earlier this month to prevent Mexican cartels from smuggling drugs and people into Texas, according to Border Report. The plan includes beefing up the presence of Texas state police and National Guard personnel in the region, the report said. Abbott’s plan was created following a February meeting with Col. Steve McCraw of the Texas Department of Public Safety, initially to address coronavirus concerns related to the increase in migrants reaching the Texas border with Mexico, according to Border Report.
