Texas' Operation Lone Star has led to the apprehensions of more than 350,000 illegal immigrants, and the seizure of more than 362 million lethal doses of fentanyl, Gov. Greg Abbott said in a press release Friday.
The multi-agency effort to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, launched in March 2021 due to "insufficient policies from the federal government," includes resources from the Department of Public Safety and the National Guard.
The release issued by Abbott's office also said Texas has bused more than 9,100 migrants to Washington, D.C., since April, more than 5,200 migrants to New York City since Aug. 5, more than 1,500 migrants to Chicago since Aug. 31, and more than 890 migrants to Philadelphia since Nov. 15.
