The move comes after record-setting large group crossings around El Paso over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been recent reports that non-governmental organizations may have assisted with illegal border crossings near El Paso,\u201d Governor Abbott wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/\">letter<\/a> to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. \u201cWe further understand NGOs may be engaged in unlawfully orchestrating other border crossings through activities on both sides of the border, including in sectors other than El Paso. In light of these reports, I am calling on the Texas Attorney General\u2019s Office to initiate an investigation into the role of NGOs in planning and facilitating the illegal transportation of illegal immigrants across our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">The governor\u2019s call comes as the expected end of the Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol looms next week. In advance of the program\u2019s ending, groups of more than 2,400 migrants per day crossed over the past weekend, Breitbart Texas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2022\/12\/12\/7400-migrants-cross-mexican-border-to-el-paso-over-weekend\/\">reported<\/a>. One of those groups consisted of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2022\/12\/12\/1000-migrants-cross-border-into-el-paso-overnight-ahead-of-mayorkas-visit\/\">more than 1,000<\/a> who crossed overnight on Sunday.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to the crossings into El Paso, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2022\/12\/13\/11k-migrant-apprehensions-in-one-texas-border-sector-last-week\/\">more than 11,000 crossed<\/a> into the Del Rio Sector during the past week. Another 3,200 migrants got away without being apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>The governor alleges that NGOs may have a role \u201cin planning and assisting illegal border crossings into Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">\u201cThe end of Title 42 in the coming weeks is expected to cause a dramatic increase in the number of illegal immigrants crossing America\u2019s southern border beyond the all-time high levels currently reported,\u201d the governor\u2019s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>One NGO, the Border Network for Human Rights, responded to the governor\u2019s call for an investigation calling it a personal attack on El Paso, an abuse of power, and a\u00a0\u201cracist distortion of what\u2019s happening on the border,\u201d El Paso Matters <a href=\"https:\/\/elpasomatters.org\/2022\/12\/14\/texas-gov-greg-abbott-wants-ngos-that-help-migrants-investigated\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is very concerning is that now by the statement itself, he\u2019s attempting to criminalize not just immigrants, but humanitarian work in Texas,\u201d Director Fernando Garcia told the local news outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Abbott\u2019s letter to the attorney general continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Although the burden to address the ongoing border crisis should not fall to Texas, the federal government has failed to take action to address this problem. I appreciate the lawsuits your office has pursued to hold President Biden accountable for abdicating his responsibility to enforce our immigration laws. I have also taken unprecedented action by launching Operation Lone Star and engaging the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to secure our border.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In light of these reports, I am calling on the Texas Attorney General\u2019s Office to initiate an investigation into the role of NGOs in planning and facilitating the illegal transportation of illegal immigrants across our borders. In addition, I stand ready to work with you to craft any sensible legislative solutions your office may propose that are aimed at solving the ongoing border crisis and the role that NGOs may play in encouraging it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/author\/bob-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/author\/bob-price\/&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1583344635394000&#038;usg=AFQjCNFbc5T2NTdEL9_YFsQbXuOF3xOKVQ\"><em>Bob Price<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0serves as associate editor and senior news contributor for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1583344635394000&#038;usg=AFQjCNHrdMnYOa5wlYK9eCiMk9vHw1BGNg\">Breitbart Texas-Border team<\/a>.
