(VitalNews.org) – The battle against the alarming invasion has reached a new level after Texas Governor Greg Abbott allowed National Guard members to arrest and detain illegal aliens.
This bold move signals a new era in border security, empowering state forces to protect American sovereignty.
Supporting the Trump administration’s efforts, Governor Abbott has addressed the ongoing border crisis.
“In an agreement I signed between Texas and Trump’s Customs and Border Protection, the Texas National Guard is granted the power of immigration officials to make immigration arrests. Effective immediately. This boosts man power for border security,” he declared.
The order deputizes the Texas National Guard with immigration and arrest authority, allowing them to conduct roving patrols alongside U.S. immigration officers or Border Patrol agents.
This collaboration ensures proper oversight while maximizing the impact of available resources.
Texas has showcased its commitment to border security by investing over $13 billion in Operation Lonestar.
With this new authorization, at least 3,000 Texas Army National Guard soldiers will now assist the Department of Homeland Security in enforcing federal immigration law.
This expansion of authority comes as part of a broader effort to support President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, including mass deportations and securing the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Texas military has been tasked with creating an operational plan to control the southern border and assist in building border barriers.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton strongly supports the initiative, emphasizing the importance of law enforcement and national sovereignty.
He stated:
“On day one, President Trump took bold action to make America safe again. I am proud to be the first to join him to restore our national sovereignty, secure our border, and ensure that criminal aliens face the justice they deserve. As the top law enforcement official in Texas, I call on all agencies and departments to join me in the fight. We will enforce the law and protect America.”
Meanwhile, critics argue that the move makes law enforcement more complicated and increases danger.
However, supporters maintain that it is necessary to address the federal enforcement issues created during the Biden administration.
The agreement between Texas and the federal government represents a significant shift in border security strategy.
It empowers state forces to take a more active role in immigration enforcement, filling critical gaps left by federal inaction over the past four years.
As America faces unprecedented challenges at its borders, Texas is leading the charge in protecting the nation’s sovereignty and the rule of law.
