Abbott, 'Operation Lone Star' Ramp Up Busing Migrants to NYC & D.C. to Provide Relief for Texas Border Communities

Texas has also transported over 6,500 migrants to the nation's capital – and now New York City – since beginning the mission in April

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration's refusal to secure the border. 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 transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry.

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to:
 

• more than 290,700 migrant apprehensions
• more than 18,000 criminal arrests,
  • with more than 15,400 felony charges reported
• In the fight against fentanyl, DPS has seized over 325.9 million lethal doses throughout the state

Texas has also transported over 6,500 migrants to the Nation's Capital – and now New York City – since beginning the busing mission in April to provide much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities. 

Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration's refusal to secure the border. 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.
