Atty General Garland just told Abbott that Greg's "show me your papers" executive order is illegal

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Greg is a racist asshole who issue an executive order that is in effect a "show my your papers" order where the state troopers are allowed anyone they think is an undocumented person. The governor is now ordering state troopers to stop any vehicle suspected of transporting migrant "who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19" and send them back or impound the vehicle.

Greg is a racist asshole and I was glad that AG Garland pointed out to Greg that "show me you papers" laws are illegal in the US.

I am glad that we have a real attorney general in who will enforce the law

Greg is really worried about being challenged in the primaries by a tea party nut case and Qanon nutcase. The endorsement of TFG may not be enough to get Greg through the primary

Attorney General Merrick Garland urged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to reverse his day-old executive order that aims to restrict migration at the border following a rise in Covid-19 cases.

The attorney general called Abbott’s order “both dangerous and unlawful” in a Thursday letter to the governor. “The Order violates federal law in numerous respects, and Texas cannot lawfully enforce the Executive Order against any federal official or private parties working with the United States,” Garland wrote.

The executive order, issued Wednesday, had the stated intention of “restricting ground transportation of migrants who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19 into Texas communities.” In it, Abbott ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to stop and reroute vehicles suspected of violations.

Garland's letter also said Texas does not have authority to interfere with the federal government’s “broad, undoubted power over the subject of immigration.” The Texas governor, a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, has clashed with the U.S. government in the past on the topic of immigration, repeatedly berating the Biden administration’s border policies and recently saying the state will build a border wall on its own.

In the letter, Garland said if Abbott does not immediately rescind the order, the U.S. “intends to pursue all appropriate legal remedies to ensure that Texas does not interfere with the functions of the federal government.”
