President Donald Trump has made immigration enforcement a top priority for his administration and has supported Abbott’s immigration efforts. Texas repeatedly sued the Biden administration, targeting many of its immigration policies, some of which provided migrants legal pathways to legally enter and stay in the U.S.

Gov. Greg Abbott ordered DPS to deploy what he called “tactical strike teams” to arrest undocumented migrants with outstanding warrants.

The announcement comes the day after Abbott ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops and additional military equipment to the Rio Grande Valley.

Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to deploy tactical strike teams to Trump’s Administration homeland security operations today.

The Republican governor on Wednesday ordered Texas agencies to help with arrests, share intelligence and help find new detainment facilities.

The state has vowed to assist the president in his efforts to revamp immigration. But Texas' biggest cities and school districts are more reluctant to help.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is sending hundreds of soldiers in the Texas Military Department to work with the U.S. Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the troops to the Rio Grande Valley, where he said they'll work side-by-side with U.S. Border Patrol agents to keep migrants from illegally entering the country. Some of those troops left from the U.S. Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth Monday morning. The others left from a base in Houston.

According to Accuracy In Media, the video was filmed in December. The group’s president, Adam Guillette, returned to Irving ISD several weeks later to confront Lizardo, who denied knowledge of the conversation. Abbott retweeted the video earlier this week and called for investigations into Lizardo’s conduct.

Texas has banned sanctuary cities since 2018, and Mayor Ron Nirenberg says San Antonio cooperates with federal immigration authorities to deport criminals.

The president’s made-for-TV showmanship has been all over his first days in office, as he has sought to kick off the country’s largest mass deportation effort.
