Before the termination of the Title 42 public health order, which helped prevent the entry of migrants into the United States, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the creation of a new Texas Tactical Border Force on Monday.
In response to “Joe Biden’s reckless border policies,” the Texas National Guard is packing C-130s and Black Hawk helicopters to send specially trained National Guard members to “hotspots along the border to intercept, to repel and to turn back migrants who are trying to enter Texas illegally, “ At a press conference held at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Abbott said.
On Monday, the Texas National Guard activated 545 additional military members to “reinforce the border mission in anticipation of the end of Title 42 immigration restrictions.”
“These additional forces will bolster the thousands of Texas National Guard service members already assisting local and state law enforcement agencies to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between the ports of entry,” said on Twitter. “We have expanded our capabilities to include boat teams that patrol hundreds of river miles, drones and helicopters that detect illicit activity from the air, and brush teams, security points and roving patrols that block and interdict illegal smuggling (drugs, weapons and people) into Texas.”

“According to the Biden administration itself, they anticipate about 13,000 people coming across the border illegally every single day, ” the governor added. “If you extend that out over the course of a year, it means it will be about 4,700,000 people coming across the border a year. That will mean there will be more people coming across the border illegally than there are residents of the massive city of Chicago.”

The Texas Tactical Border Force is intended to support Operation Lone Star, which according to Abbott has turned away 37,000 individuals who had already crossed the border illegally, detained about 27,000 dangerous criminals, including “cartel gang members” who are sought for crimes like murder, and seized “enough fentanyl that would have been enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States.”
