Texas Border Czar Mike Banks tweeted a report saying special response units of the Texas Military Department and Department of Public Safety turned back thousands of migrants during the first two days of deployment in El Paso.
The border czar’s comments follow an address by Governor Abbott to the Southwest Border Sheriff’s Coalition meeting in McAllen, Texas, on Monday.
“We are working on quick response teams that can respond to the challenges we see coming across on the border. We had a telephone meeting last night, where we triggered one of these quick response teams to go to El Paso,” the Texas governor told the gathering of border sheriffs. “And they’ve already conducted operational maneuvers today, even before I arrived here, to make sure that we are responding more aggressively to the huge number of people who tried to enter El Paso illegally.
Texas military forces deploy in Eagle Pass in preparation for next month’s scheduled end of Title 42. Absent a sudden change in policy by the Biden administration, Governor Abbott indicated the situation along the border is about to get much worse with Title 42 coming to an end next month. A report from DHS predicts as many as 18,000 migrants per day could cross the southwest border with Mexico into the U.S. Currently, most of those enter through Texas.His ending of Title 42 next month will skyrocket already rising levels of illegal border crossings.
