Texas could bus migrants directly to ICE for deportation instead of to sanctuary cities

Texas is looking at a plan to ramp up migrant buses again — but instead of sending them to sanctuary cities, officials would ship newly arrived illegal migrants directly to ICE holding centers so they can be processed quickly for deportation, a Lone Star State source told The Post.
The proposal, which has not been approved by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, is meant to continue Operation Lone Star, which seeks to deter migrants from crossing into Texas illegally.
“We are always gonna be involved in border security so long as we’re a border state,” the source in the Texas government said.
“We spent a lot of taxpayer money to have the level of deterrent that we have on the border and we can’t just walk away.”
President-elect’s new border czar Tom Homan said he is interested in working with Texas to make it happen.
Under the proposed plan, buses chartered by Texas from border cities will be rerouted from sanctuary cities including New York, Chicago and Denver to federal detention centers to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents process them more quickly, the source said.
“That’s a way we could be involved in that, and of course they would reimburse us for paying for the [bus] contract,” said the source.
Abbott’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment from The Post.

Why is it up to the puta to decide if our border gets closed or not? CLOSE THE DAMN THING. You only have to shoot a few and they’ll stop coming.
