Jean-Pierre was asked by a reporter if the Biden administration had any plans for a legal response to Abbott’s executive order authorizing state law enforcement officials and the Texas National Guard to apprehend illegal immigrants and return them to the border.
"Immigration enforcement is a federal authority, and states should not be meddling in it," the White House press secretary said.
