Texas Gov. Greg Abbott hits back after judge blocks illegal immigration order

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is taking the Biden Justice Department to task after a federal judge blocked his executive order allowing troopers to stop vehicles suspected of carrying illegal immigrants over fears they could spread COVID-19.

Abbott blasted the temporary order issued by US District Judge Kathleen Cardone of El Paso on Tuesday as “temporary and based on limited evidence.” “We look forward to providing the Court with the evidence to support the Governor’s Executive Order to protect Texans,” he added.
