Texas has seen a significant 74% decrease in illegal border crossings since the launch of Operation Lone Star in 2021. The initiative, spearheaded by Governor Greg Abbott, involves the deployment of Texas Military soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers, as well as the installation of razor wire and border wall construction. According to Texas Department of Public Safety Colonel Steve McCraw, the efforts have led to a notable shift in unlawful crossings to neighboring states like California and Arizona, where such measures are not in place. Governor Abbott has emphasized that Texas will continue to combat what he describes as President Joe Biden’s dangerous open border policies. LtChrisOlivarez highlighted these changes on June 11, and further details were provided on June 13.
