WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday warned Texas Governor Greg Abbott to "immediately rescind" a new executive order aimed at curbing the travel into the state of undocumented immigrants who may pose a risk of transmitting COVID-19.

"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 told Abbott in a letter.

He added that if Texas continues to implement the ground restrictions on migrants, then the Justice Department will "pursue all appropriate legal remedies."

Bring it on and see the inside of a jail.

Federal activity within a state does not Trump the obligation of that state to prevent harm to it citizens.

The Biden Justice Department on Friday sued Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott seeking to overturn an executive order prohibiting the ground transportation of illegal aliens who could be carrying COVID-19.

Attorney General Merrick Garland�s team argued in U.S. District Court that Abbott�s order interferes with the federal government�s ability to address immigration.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would contest the order and "keep President Biden out of Texas business.�

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

Now we are getting somewhere.

No way Texas will succumb to a court on its duty to protect Texans.

How will a judge enforce its order anyway?

Tell the Rangers to stand down?

It's about time.

And in my mind, it is because Abbott is feeling hear from the right for his re-election.

This can only be good news for the TNM and #TEXIT.... if Abbott backs down on this, Daniel Miller and the TNM will be presented with such an explosive issue....
