Operation Lone Star passed its three-year mark this week, as state and local law enforcement officers apprehended a benchmark of more than 500,000 illegal border crossers.
“Americans are outraged by [President] Joe Biden’s complete failure to secure the border,” Gov. Greg Abbott said on Wednesday. “Three years ago today, I launched Operation Lone Star to defend Texans – and Americans – from his disastrous open border policies.”
“Texas continues to deter and repel” illegal border crossers and interdict cartel activity, he said. “We will not back down.”
