ABBOTT: Texas Expanding Border Presence with New Tactical Command Post


“As Governors, residents, and citizens across America have seen, every state is now a border state.”
– Governor Greg Abbott

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard continue to work together to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal activity between ports of entry.  

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to:
 
  • over 518,300 illegal immigrant apprehensions,
  • more than 46,000 criminal arrests, with
  • more than 40,000 felony charges.
In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 521 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico combined during this border mission.     
 
Texas has also transported:
 
  • Over 12,500 migrants to Washington, D.C. since April 2022
  • Over 45,900 migrants to New York City since August 2022
  • Over 36,900 migrants to Chicago since August 2022
  • Over 3,400 migrants to Philadelphia since November 2022
  • Over 19,200 migrants to Denver since May 2023
  • Over 1,500 migrants to Los Angeles since June 2023
 Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps created by the Biden-Harris 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 and Vice President Kamala Harris’ open border policies.

Texas National Guard Build New Tactical Command Post In Shelby Park
 Earlier this week, Texas National Guard soldiers working on Operation Lone Star built a new tactical command post in Shelby Park. The new command post includes eight interconnected tents with generators, hard floors, and air conditioning.
 
This command post will improve communication between Operation Lone Star personnel and will help soldiers with the rapid, efficient delivery of supplies and support in the event of a mass migration event.
 
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS FROM OPERATION LONE STAR:
 
WATCH: Governor Abbott: Every State Is Now Border State Under The Biden-Harris Administration
 
Yesterday, Governor Abbott joined John Roberts on Fox News to discuss how the Biden-Harris Administration's dangerous open border policies have made every state a border state. The Governor slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for allowing over 11 million illegal immigrants, including dangerous criminals, into the country.  
 
“As Governors, residents, and citizens across America have seen, every state is now a border state,”
said Governor Abbott.

“It’s not something that just happens in Texas or Arizona. It happens in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in regard to the importation of fentanyl, to people losing their lives because of criminals and rapists that have been allowed in by Kamala Harris.

"Americans are threatened now more than ever because of the reckless open border policies that were allowed by Kamala Harris," said the governor.

Governor Abbott: Panel Installation Continues At Texas Border Wall In Starr County
 
Earlier this week on X, Governor Abbott highlighted a video of a panel installation at the Texas border wall in Starr County.
 
Until President Biden and Vice President Harris secure the border, Texas won’t back down from the fight to secure the border by building more miles of border wall.
