The Campaign Update: Another Risky Move by Abbott Could Let Beto O'Rourke Back in the Race

Texas Governor Greg Abbott made an announcement yesterday that made big news, but which also could do him severe political damage if he can’t follow through on it:

Yes, friends, Gov. Abbott says he’s going to have the Texas Division of Emergency Management round up illegal immigrants who have been set free willy-nilly by the Biden administration in Texas border towns, and put them on charter buses bound for Washington, DC. The announcement was made as Texas prepares for a new massive wave of illegal immigrants from Central America that are already massing at the border in anticipation of Biden’s lifting of Title 42 in May.

Hey, it’s a terrific idea if you have the power to do it.

The problem is, Abbott may not have the power to do it.
