Abbott aims to restrict immigrant travel through Texas, citing rising Covid-19 infections
The Texas governor said border crossings have "led to a dramatic rise in COVID-19 cases."Republican Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Wednesday designed to restrict border entries in Texas, saying the action will cut down on Covid-19 infections, as his party continues to criticize the president’s handling of the border.

Abbott’s order is aimed at “restricting ground transportation of migrants who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19 into Texas communities.” The order directed the state’s Department of Public Safety to stop and reroute “any vehicle upon reasonable suspicion of such violation.”
