   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said Monday that his state is deploying a new   
   “tactical border force” to turn back migrants ahead of the expected surge   
   when the federal government’s Title 42 policy ends Thursday.   
      
   “We’re deploying today a new Texas tactical border force made up of elite   
   National Guard who are specifically trained for one thing,” Abbott said in   
   an interview Monday with Fox News. “And that is to identify areas illegal   
   immigrants are trying to cross the border and to fill that gap and to   
   repel them.”   
      
   It was unclear how many National Guard troops would be deployed as part of   
   the new force, but the announcement from Abbott comes as the state has   
   prepared to beef up border security efforts for when Title 42 expires.   
      
   The holdover Trump administration pandemic-era policy has allowed the   
   federal government to expel migrants who come to the U.S. seeking asylum.   
   It is a policy, however, that immigration advocates say violates federal   
   and international law.   
      
   Republican lawmakers have blasted the White House for not having an   
   adequate plan for when the policy expires.   
      
   The move by Abbott to deploy the new tactical border force comes as the   
   Biden administration also plans to send 1,500 troops to the southern   
   border, a move that the Texas governor criticized Sunday.   
      
   “President Biden is sending 1,500, quote, soldiers to do paperwork, and   
   he’s not going to secure the border,” Abbott said in another interview   
   with Fox News.   
      
   Abbott said Monday the new force would have two ways to keep migrants from   
   entering the U.S.   
      
   “They can physically turn back those who are trying to cross the border   
   illegally,” he said. “Also, they are building immediate concertina wire   
   border barriers to prevent people from coming across the border.”
