Gov. Greg Abbott paraded the three-year anniversary of Operation Lone Star and its successes.More than 503,800 illegal aliens have been apprehended in Texas since Gov. Greg Abbott kicked off Operation Lone Star in March of 2021.
The multi-agency effort, led by the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Military Department, has also resulted in over 40,400 criminal arrests, 36,100 felony charges, and 469 million lethal doses of fentanyl seized.
Abbott commemorated the operation’s third anniversary in his Thursday response to President Joe Biden’s annual State of the Union address.
“Yesterday marked the three-year anniversary since I launched Operation Lone Star to defend our state—and our nation—from the historic influx of illegal immigration, criminals, and deadly drugs like fentanyl pouring across our southern border,” Abbott stated.
“Until President Biden steps up and does his job as Commander-in-Chief to secure the border, Texas will hold the line and use every tool and strategy to keep our country safe,” he added.
