The White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott, stating his border control measures are disruptive to their own immigration plans. Governor Abbott has initiated Operation Lone Star in response to the rise of undocumented border crossings. This state-led operation has reportedly led to a significant decrease in illegal border crossings, contradicting Jean-Pierre’s remarks. As tensions rise, the Department of Justice is now pursuing a lawsuit against Texas over river barriers along the Rio Grande, a move that Governor Abbott openly welcomes. It’s a battle of state versus federal, with each side strongly believing in their approach to immigration and border control. The final outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – this issue continues to divide.
