Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deploys hundreds more troops to Texas-Mexico border
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the troops to the Rio Grande Valley, where he said they'll work side-by-side with U.S. Border Patrol agents to keep migrants from illegally entering the country. Some of those troops left from the U.S. Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth Monday morning. The others left from a base in Houston.
Greg Abbott's orders are focused on strengthening border security, and include assisting with migrant arrests and looking for land for the government to lease.
