Operation Lone Star Stops Criminals at President Biden’s Open Border

In a tweet shared on Monday, Governor Abbott highlighted that President Biden’s border crisis has made every state a border state.

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 transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry. 

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 401,900 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 32,400 criminal arrests, with more than 29,600 felony charges reported. In the fight against fentanyl, Texas law enforcement has seized over 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.

Texas has also bused:

• Over 10,600 migrants to Washington, D.C. since April 2022
• Over 10,900 migrants to New York City since August 2022
• Over 4,600 migrants to Chicago since August 2022
• Over 2,100 migrants to Philadelphia since November 2022
• Over 440 migrants to Denver since May 18
• Over 240 migrants to Los Angeles since June 14

Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps created 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 Joe Biden's open border policies.
