AG Merrick Garland said if (Texas Gov. Greg) Abbott “does not immediately rescind the (executive) order, the U.S. ‘intends to pursue all appropriate legal remedies to ensure that Texas does not interfere with the functions of the federal government.’”
Abbot’s executive order, “issued Wednesday, had the stated intention of ‘restricting ground transportation of migrants who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19 into Texas communities.’ In it, Abbott ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to stop and reroute vehicles suspected of violations.”
The US AG said Texas does not have the authority to interfere with the federal government’s “broad, undoubted power over the subject of immigration.”
In previous statements, Abbott has called on the federal government to do its job enforcing illegal border crossings.
