Abbott proclaims border region a disaster; community groups proclaim Abbott a disaster

SAN JUAN, Texas – Four border community groups have issued a response to Gov. Greg Abbott’s proclamation that the border region is a disaster.

In a proclamation of their own, the four groups, La Unión del Pueblo Entero, Angry Tias and Abuelas, Asylum Seeker Network of Support, and The Sidewalk School, say Abbott is a disaster.

Earlier this week, Abbott issued a disaster declaration for Texas counties lining the Texas-Mexico border. He said he was issuing the declaration in response to a border “crisis.”
