Attorney General Merrick Garland threatened Texas with legal action Thursday, following an executive order by Gov. Abbott's order came amid reports of federal authorities dropping COVID-positive migrants into Texas border towns. Garland told Abbott to "immediately rescind" the executive order he called "both dangerous and unlawful." The executive order issued Wednesday by Abbott restricted ground transportation of migrants "who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19 into Texas communities." "This Executive Order will reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure in our communities."
