Abbott announced the deployment of new “Texas Tactical Border Force” units to El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley on Monday and Tuesday.
On Monday, his main focus was the lifting of Title 42, a pandemic-era health policy that allows the federal government to expel migrants as soon as they cross the border. The measure has been in place since March 2020. Immigration officials have since invoked the policy 2.7 million times to quickly expel migrants from the U.S. without allowing them to request asylum. But, when the Biden administration terminates the federal COVID-19 public health emergency.
If Texas were acting independently, the state would have secured the border, but Biden has put out “the welcome mat,” he added. On Monday, the state is sending the first two segments of the unit to El Paso and another segment to the Rio Grande Valley. Two more segments, totaling upwards of 200 personnel, will travel to the Rio Grande Valley on Tuesday.
Abbott was in Allen on Sunday to visit the families of those affected by the shooting, as well as law enforcement, investigators and the community at large. However, investigators couldn’t provide specifics at the time. The gunman, who died in the shooting, was a man in his early 30s and may have had white supremacist or neo-Nazi beliefs, according to reports.
