The DOJ sued Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott to block a state order aimed at restricting the travel of undocumented migrants who could potentially transmit Covid.
The complaint states that Abbott's executive order, issued Wednesday, interferes with the federal government's ability to lawfully release and transport migrants, adding it violates intergovernmental immunity.
Abbott's order limits the ground transportation of illegal migrants recently released from U.S. Border Patrol custody "who pose a risk of carrying Covid-19 into Texas communities." The complaint states that Abbott's executive order, issued Wednesday, interferes with the federal government's ability to lawfully release and transport migrants, adding it violates intergovernmental immunity.
The lawsuit comes a day after Attorney General Merrick Garland threatened to pursue "legal remedies" if Abbott failed to rescind the executive order.
