Over 7,000 migrants captured at the Texas-Mexico border are in either Washington, DC or New York City. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the illegal immigrant transports are part of Operation Lone Star, the state's border security initiative. The Republican says sending the buses filled with migrants provides relief to overwhelmed border communities. He blames the Biden administration for the border problems, saying the federal government needs to enforce immigration laws.
