Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) designated National Guard troops on Monday to a newly formed state border force and called on them to "repel" immigrants who are expected to cross illegally into the U.S. in record numbers in the coming weeks.
Border crossings are already spiking in the days leading up to the end of Title 42 with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehending more than 26,000 migrants in just 72 hours.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is preparing to send "thousands more" migrants to the Big Apple, Chicago and other sanctuary cities "in the coming days,” as the border is beseiged ahead of Title 42 ending this week.
