Gov GregAbbott_TX showed how the state is seeking to temper a rush of migrants at the southern border late Monday evening, posting a video revealing barbed wiring strung across gaps along the border.
The video shows a nighttime shot of the border just two days before the expected end of the Trump-era Title 42 policy that allowed the swift expulsion of migrants on the grounds of public health. Hundreds of feet of spiraled wire can be seen along the ground, and some areas show the wire stacked to form a partition several feet tall. This is one thing Texas is doing to secure the border.We now have it wired shut.More to come. pic.twitter.
Abbott's tweet came just hours after he made his first public address over the border crisis since 34-year-old George Alvarez was arrested and charged with eight counts of manslaughter after his SUV plowed through a group of people outside Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center, a migrant facility, on Sunday.
#BREAKING A man reportedly just showed up to the Ozanam Center with a pistol and tried to get through the gate.Migrants say the man was driving a dark blue or black car and was pointing his gun at them.— Ali Bradley May 8, 2023 Additional security risks have reportedly continued at the Ozanam Center since the fatal crash. On Monday, a driver reportedly approached the migrant facility's gate with a gun and attempted to enter, according to a News Nation reporter.
The Republican governor on Monday accused cartels of"working in collaboration with President Biden and the federal government to facilitate that illegal" border crossing.
