.GovAbbott sent letters to governors nationwide Tuesday urging them to step up and deploy military and police down south to help Texas continue to respond to the Biden-era border crisis in the aftermath of Title 42 ending last week.
The three-term governor sent letters to governors nationwide Tuesday urging them to send people and resources to Texas, arguing the Lone Star State shouldn't have to shoulder the financial burden alone to deal with the influx of people and drugs.“In the federal government’s absence, we, as Governors, must band together to combat President Biden’s ongoing border crisis and ensure the safety and security that all Americans deserve," Abbott wrote in the letter.
Abbott said the move was justified through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which permits states to send money to other states in times of disaster or emergency. The border crisis, Abbott argued, constituted a disaster and an emergency. In the spring of 2021, Abbott announced Operation Lone Star and has dispatched more than 10,000 Department of Public Safety officers and National Guard soldiers across the state's 1,250-mile border with Mexico as Border Patrol agents were pulled inside at higher numbers to process the rising number of people in custody.
