Texas Arrests Illegal Aliens for Trespassing—Democrats Urge DOJ to Shut It Down

KINNEY COUNTY, Texas—A group of 50 Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives is urging the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to investigate Operation Lone Star, a border security initiative launched by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in March 2021.

“Operation Lone Star uses state criminal law to target Black and Latino migrants for punishment,” the Democrats’ Jan. 26 letter to the federal agencies alleges.

The politicians want the federal government to ​​use “all tools at your disposal to ensure the end of this policy.”
