Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for the federal government to pay back $11.1 billion that was spent on Operation Lone Star, Texas' border security effort, during the Biden Administration.
In a letter to U.S. congressional leaders, the governor blamed previous border security policy for leaving Texas “defenseless,” forcing state officials to spend billions.
DHS could request up to 10,000 troops to help with efforts along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to an internal Border Patrol memo obtained by ABC News.
