Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending migrants to Washington, D.C. and New York City in response to record-breaking immigration on the southern border under Operation Lone Star. Under Operation Lone Star, troopers and local law enforcement agencies with assistance from the National Guard have taken migrants into custody on such charges as trespassing as a means to detain them under state law without usurping the authority of federal immigration officials. Texas has also sent more than 6,100 migrants on buses to Washington, D.C., NPR reported this week. 📷: Stefani Reynolds, AFP via Getty Images
