U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson is calling for an investigation into Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas state agencies over the busing of migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-led cities.
Rep. Jackson wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security requesting an inquiry into Gov. Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Military Department for the busing campaign, deeming it “human smuggling.”
The letter outlines how “To date, Governor Abbott, acting on behalf of the State of Texas, has transported more than 55,500 migrants to six sanctuary cities—namely, New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Denver, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.” In doing so, Governor Abbott has “directly engaged in an unprecedented, large-scale human smuggling operation for the past eighteen months.”
Jackson said that his letter reveals how the Texas Governor “is committing the federal offenses of alien smuggling, domestic transporting, harboring, and conspiracy/aiding or abetting, as well as the Texas offense of smuggling of persons, among other offenses.”
The letter also calls upon the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to “investigate and determine, if applicable, all federal and state laws that Governor Abbott” has violated.
“Governor Abbott’s actions are illegal, xenophobic, inhumane, and un-American,” said Jackson.
