County judge says Gov. Abbott's claim of abuse at San Antonio migrant shelter 'completely false'

Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff on Monday dismissed Gov. Greg Abbott’s allegations of sexual abuse and dangerous conditions at the Freeman Coliseum shelter for migrant teens, calling them "completely false."

During the Monday coronavirus briefing, Wolff responded to a reporter's question about Abbott's claim early this month that state agencies received tips about abuse, neglect and breaches of pandemic protocols at the site.

“Completely false," Wolff said. "Now, other things could happen. I don’t know that they have. I haven’t heard anything; they could happen in the future. ... Something could go wrong, but the previous allegations he made are untrue.”

Roughly 1,800 migrant boys are being housed at the county-owned coliseum while the federal government works to place them with family members in the U.S. or with aid organizations.
