Texas Governor, Attorney General to Investigate Private Organizations Facilitating Border Crisis:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is asking his state’s attorney general to investigate how a network of private organizations is colluding with the Biden administration to facilitate the worst border crisis in American history.
Abbott’s request comes just days after The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project documented the outsized role of non-governmental organizations. Those groups, operating more than the 30 separate physical locations in Texas, Arizona, and California, are trafficking illegal aliens to nearly every congressional district in the United States.
“I am calling on the Texas Attorney General’s Office to initiate an investigation into the role of NGOs in planning and facilitating the illegal transportation of illegal immigrants across our borders,” Abbott wrote in Wednesday’s letter.
Abbott said he would work with Attorney General Ken Paxton to explore legislative solutions “aimed at solving the ongoing border crisis and the role that NGOs may play in encouraging it.”
Citing the impending expiration of Title 42, a Trump administration policy implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, Abbott warned that Texas is about to endure “record-high illegal border crossings.” Just this week, more than 2,600 illegal aliens crossed the U.S.-Mexico border near El Paso over a 24-hour period.
“There have been recent reports that non-governmental organizations may have assisted with illegal border crossings near El Paso,” Abbott wrote in his letter. “We further understand NGOs may be engaged in unlawfully orchestrating other border crossings through activities on both sides of the border, including in sectors other than El Paso.” --->READ MORE HERE
Abbott calls for investigations of NGOs, claims aiding undocumented immigrants:
Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday directing his office to conduct investigations into nonprofit organizations that may have played a role in assisting individuals who illegally cross the border.
The claim comes as law enforcement in El Paso experienced an onslaught of undocumented immigrants crossing the border. El Paso Sector Acting Border Patrol Chief Peter Jaquez said in a Tweet that the department encountered as many 2,400 undocumented immigrants each day over the weekend.
“There have been recent reports that non-governmental organizations may have assisted with illegal border crossings near El Paso,” Abbott’s letter said. “We further understand NGOs may be engaged in unlawfully orchestrating other border crossings through activities on both sides of the border, including in sectors other than El Paso. In light of these reports, I am calling on the Texas Attorney General’s Office to initiate an investigation into the role of NGOs in planning and facilitating the illegal transportation of illegal immigrants across our borders.”
State and federal law enforcement are preparing for even more migrants expected to cross the border in the coming weeks as Title 42, the pandemic era rule that allows the United States to return migrants back to Mexico or their country of origin under the guise of public health safety concerns, sunsets. The rule expires on Dec. 21. --->READ MORE HERE
