WASHINGTON (WBAP/KLIF) : The Justice Department has sued the state of Texas over Gov. Greg Abbott’s order that gives Texas Department of Public Safety troopers power to seize vehicles, if police suspect the driver is transporting migrants who have COVID-19. The order, which was issued on Wednesday, also allows troopers to reroute civilian vehicles back to their origin point or a port of entry.
The Department of Justice lawsuit is based on fears that the migrant order will contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in addition to bringing pending migrant legal cases to a halt. The Governor responded to the lawsuit saying, that the Biden administration should “stop admitting migrants who are not authorized by Congress to be admitted.”
