Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, and state lawmakers rerouted roughly $1 billion in federal coronavirus aid to help pay for a program focused on arresting migrants at the southern border, The Texas Tribune reported.

Texas officials in recent months have moved state money toward its immigration crackdown and Abbott's Operation Lone Star initiative, the Tribune reported.

The money moves appeared to be legal under the stimulus law known as the Cares Act, though critics say the funds should have been used to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
