EDINBURG, Texas — Former President Donald Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott served an early Thanksgiving meal to a host of law enforcement officers and Texas National Guard soldiers serving the border region as part of Abbott’s Operation Lone Star. The former president and Abbott are slated to deliver remarks to a crowd of Texas Rio Grande Valley officials and border residents later Sunday.
The former President’s visit to South Texas comes on the heels of a visit to Houston earlier in November for a campaign rally. Trump currently holds a commanding lead against his Republican primary opponents ahead of the state’s March 5th primary election. Trump’s visit comes as the Texas border with Mexico has seen unprecedented levels of migrant crossings in recent months.
Abbott has made an annual tradition serving of Thanksgiving meals to soldiers and law enforcement officers at several locations across the state’s U.S./Mexico border. The troops are the latest deployment under Abbott’s Operation Lone Star. Since March 2021, the operation has augmented law enforcement patrols by Texas Department of Public Safety Highway troopers and Texas Army National Guard soldiers along its U.S./Mexico boundary. The multi-agency border security operations include additional soldiers and law enforcement personnel from other states as well.
