On Thursday, the Texas Senate Committee on Border Security met in the Capitol to discuss three topics: Securing the Texas-Mexico Border, Support for Border Security Personnel, and monitoring the implementation of several bills passed during the 88th Legislature.
I gave my testimony on what steps Texas needs to take in the upcoming session, starting in January, to secure our state, regardless of the results of November’s presidential election.
You can read and watch my full testimony here.
On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott held a press conference announcing that the State of Texas is launching a “comprehensive, statewide operation that will aggressively target the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) to disrupt their criminal operations and deny their foothold in the state…”
Tren de Aragua has recently made national news for members’ involvement in the murder of Georgia college student Laken Riley and their criminal activity in major metropolitan areas all over the state.
We applaud Governor Abbott for taking action on this. Tren de Aragua has already gained a significant foothold in El Paso and is operating in every major city in Texas. They are noteworthy for their aggression towards law enforcement, with the Department of Homeland Security reporting in July that they had greenlit their members to target LEOs in the United States.
On Wednesday, the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security released a shocking new report on the invasion at our southern border entitled, “Crisis by Design:” A Comprehensive Look at the Biden-Harris Administration’s Unprecedented Border Crisis.
This report is a must-read and gives a full picture of the actions taken by the Biden-Harris Administration that have led to millions of illegal and inadmissible aliens being released into the interior of the United States.
This summer, we have had events in El Paso, New Braunfels, Houston, Dallas, and Pearland, and we have many more events scheduled for the fall, including:

If you have a group who would like us to give a presentation, please reach out. We speak to groups all over the state in order to educate Texans just like you and empower them to hold our elected officials accountable.
