Operation Lone Star
from Just the News
Since Texas’ border security mission Operation Lone Star launched more than two years ago, the multi-agency effort has led to the apprehension of nearly 400,000 foreign nationals who entered the U.S. illegally.
Since last April, Texas has sent over 500 buses of foreign nationals to six so-called sanctuary cities.
Gov. Greg Abbott provided an update Friday on Operation Lone Star achievements, saying Texas is continuing “to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Joe Biden’s open border policies.”
Since March 2021, Texas OLS officers have apprehended more than 384,000 illegal foreign nationals and made more than 29,000 criminal arrests with over 28,000 felony charges reported. They’ve also seized over 419 million lethal doses of fentanyl, more than enough to kill everyone in the United States.
Last year, Texas began its busing strategy to “provide much needed relief to border communities” by busing people north who’d illegally entered the U.S. and were unlawfully released into Texas, Abbott argues. The first destination city was Washington, D.C., including dropping off buses in front of Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence. Since last April, Texas has bused more than 10,000 illegal foreign nationals to Washington, D.C.
