President Donald Trump has made immigration enforcement a top priority for his administration and has supported Abbott’s immigration efforts. Texas repeatedly sued the Biden administration, targeting many of its immigration policies, some of which provided migrants legal pathways to legally enter and stay in the U.S.

Gov. Greg Abbott ordered DPS to deploy what he called “tactical strike teams” to arrest undocumented migrants with outstanding warrants.

The announcement comes the day after Abbott ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops and additional military equipment to the Rio Grande Valley.

The governor said the teams will help find, arrest and deport people who entered the country illegally and have active warrants for their arrests.

The Republican governor on Wednesday ordered Texas agencies to help with arrests, share intelligence and help find new detainment facilities.

The state has vowed to assist the president in his efforts to revamp immigration. But Texas' biggest cities and school districts are more reluctant to help.
