Greg Abbott Leads Record Border Security Efforts in Texas

Date:

Governor Greg Abbott, alongside the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas National Guard, continues to collaborate with the Trump’s administration to strengthen border security, combat the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and people, and address transnational criminal activity between ports of entry.

Operation Lone Star, which launched as part of this multi-agency effort, has resulted in over 530,800 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 50,300 criminal arrests, including over 43,000 felony charges. Texas law enforcement has also seized more than 622 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to cause the deaths of every person in the United States, Mexico, and Canada combined.

Texas Leads the Way in Migrant Transportation

The state’s robust border security measures have led to an 87% reduction in illegal crossings, according to Texas government. This drop in crossings has directly impacted the number of migrants being transported to sanctuary cities. Since the transportation program began, Texas has moved the following numbers of migrants to various cities:

  • 12,500+ migrants to Washington, D.C. since April 2022
  • 45,900+ migrants to New York City since August 2022
  • 36,900+ migrants to Chicago since August 2022
  • 3,400+ migrants to Philadelphia since November 2022
  • 19,200+ migrants to Denver since May 2023
  • 1,500+ migrants to Los Angeles since June 2023

Operation Lone Star remains focused on reversing the effects of the Biden Administration’s border policies.
