Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard are continuing to work together to secure the border, stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons and people into Texas, and prevent, detect, and interdict trans-national criminal behavior that attempts to move into Texas. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested, and every ounce of drugs seized, would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas – and the nation – due to President Biden's open border policies.

Since being launched by Gov. Abbott in March of 2021, the multi-agency "Operation Lone Star" effort has led to:

More than 297,200 migrant apprehensions
More than 19,000 criminal arrests, with
More than 16,400 felony charges reported, and
Over 335.5 million Lethal Doses of Fentanyl have been seized by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) during this border mission

Texas has also bused over 7,400 migrants to Washington, D.C. since April, and over 1,500 migrants to New York City since August 5th, 2022, providing much-needed relief to Texas' overwhelmed Border Communities.
