Gov. Greg Abbott is trampling over federal law with racist Operation Lone Star
Civil rights groups recently filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice urging them to investigate “Operation Lone Star,” an immigration enforcement initiative by Gov. Greg Abbott they argue is discriminating against Black and Latino Texans and is against the law.
Operation Lone Star began nine months ago when the governor surged state law enforcement resources to address what he called “open border policies” from the Biden administration.
More than 2,300 people have been arrested on misdemeanor state criminal trespass charges since the start of Operation Lone Star. The project has seen the mobilization of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, and other state agencies, as well as participating county sheriff’s offices.
