Today, at a rally with long-time supporters following his inauguration ceremony, President Trump saw Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the audience and began an extended conversation in which he praised the Governor’s defiance of Joe Biden’s open-borders policy.
Abbott’s Operation Lonestar, a program he began in 2021 in response to the invasion of his state by illegal migrants, has resulted in the arrests of 530,400 illegals, nearly 50,000 of whom were criminals. As Trump discussed with Abbott, Texas also began building its own border wall, fiercely opposed by the Biden regime.
Operation Lonestar has specifically targeted Tren de Aragua, the criminal gang supported by the Venezuelan government that has spread in only a few years across the United States, murdering, kidnapping, and torturing American citizens. Gov. Abbott designated the gang a foreign terrorist organization, a move newly inaugurated Pres. Trump has committed to follow nationally.
Greg Abbott, wheelchair bound since 1984 when he was injured by a falling tree during a storm, has proved himself a fighter in the Texas tradition and has been an example to other state governors across the country.
