“The day the Texas executive order was signed, DPS came to her and told her they could no longer transport migrants.”Attorney for the state of Texas Will Thompson said DPS troopers visited to “give her a heads up” before they began to enforce the migrant travel ban. And he noted Texas could take other measures to reduce the spread of COVID, “like allowing localities to impose mask mandates” and providing testing and quarantine for all individuals exposed to COVID-19.
Judge Cardone asked him if DPS would determine “who has and has not been processed and released by the federal government?”The federal courthouse in El Paso. The ACLU said their lawsuit differs from the DOJ case because they are able to present the range of harms caused by the executive order to border communities, asylum seekers, their families, shelters, and drivers throughout Texas.
In a visit to Brownsville, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas attributed the high number of repeat crossers to Title 42, a temporary public health policy that immediately expels migrants back to Mexico.
