Greg Abbott announced Wednesday.
According to Abbott, the state has provided the Department of Homeland Security with the documentation required to seek repayment for border-security costs Texas incurred during the Biden administration.
“In March 2021, I launched Operation Lone Star to fill in the dangerous gaps created by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border,” Abbott said in a statement. “For four years under Biden, Texas spent more than $10 billion of taxpayer money to secure the border. I have formally submitted Texas’ application to the Department of Homeland Security for reimbursement of costs Texas had to incur because President Biden refused to do his job.”
