A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Gov. Greg Abbott and the state of Texas from ordering state troopers to pull over drivers transporting migrants “who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19.”

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone granted a temporary restraining order against Abbott’s move, meaning it will be blocked while the case continues to unfold. The U.S. Justice Department sued Abbott and Texas on Friday, a day after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland threatened to take legal action if Abbott didn’t rescind his order, calling it “dangerous and unlawful.”

The governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

Cardone still must decide whether Texas’ move is constitutional. Abbott has defended his order as necessary to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Texas, while advocates for migrants say it would disrupt federal immigration efforts and invite troopers to racially profile people.

1. This from the asshole (Abbott) who ordinarily doesn't give a f*** about

vaccine or mask mandates to prevent C19 spread ... except to block them

The blatant hypocrisy of these RW asshats just never ceases to amaze

3. What an A$$hole!!

How stupid can you get! What are they then going to do with them? Put them in jail? Unlawful searches for an excuse to put them in jail? What in the world are we coming to here?

Who decides who is an immigrant? The police would, of necessity, then racially profile someone. But, it would mean that they could stop ANYONE if they so desired. How unconstitutional IS this?

Just secede already!

Texas, I have always enjoyed you. But, you gotta get rid of this stupid, stupid Governor who is wasting your money in a quest to fellate Trump! Vote him out. of. office!!

5. they are going

to pull them over anyway. Everyone knows the RW does not respect or obey any law...unless it's one that denies Americans their right to vote, make decisions about their own bodies, or be light-skinned enough.
