Abbott Deploys Special Border Force Ahead of Title 42 Expiration<\/h2>\n<p>As the Title 42 public health order, which turned back millions of illegal immigrants in recent years, is set to expire, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-activates-tactical-border-force-ahead-of-illegal-immigration-surge-at-border\/\" title=\"Texas deploys 'Tactical Border Force' to prepare for increase in illegal immigration at the border.\">special border force<\/a> to intercept and repel large groups of migrants trying to enter Texas illegally. The newly minted Texas Tactical Border Force, which includes specially trained Texas National Guard members, will be sent via Black Hawk helicopters to hotspots all along the border.<\/p>\n<h3>Elite National Guard Team to Focus on Shutting Down Crossing Points<\/h3>\n<p>The elite National Guard team will focus on identifying crossing points and shutting them down, using aircraft, boats, night vision equipment, and riot gear. Abbott said that a similar tactic was used successfully in El Paso last December, and in the last couple of days, the National Guard identified and suppressed a surge in crossings at Brownsville, the same city where a driver plowed into a group of illegal immigrants on May 7.<\/p>\n<h3>Repeal of Title 42 Expected to Lead to Rise in Border Arrivals<\/h3>\n<p>Scheduled to end on May 11, Title 42 allows federal border agents to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-changes-tone-on-abbott-busing-illegal-immigrants-to-d-c-its-nice-the-state-of-texas-is-helping-them\/\" title=\"White House Changes Tone On Abbott Busing Illegal Immigrants To D.C.: \u2018It\u2019s Nice The State Of Texas Is Helping Them\u2019\">rapidly expel illegal immigrants<\/a> to Mexico. Its repeal is expected to lead to a rise in border arrivals as a result of pent-up demand and the perception among illegal crossers that they\u2019ll be allowed into the United States. Since Biden took over, Republicans have been critical of what they called the administration\u2019s lax policies around illegal immigration and enforcing federal laws.<\/p>\n<h3>Gov. Abbott Working to Make Illegal Entry a Felony<\/h3>\n<p>Abbott said he was working with state lawmakers to make it a felony to illegally enter Texas from Mexico or to be involved in so-called stash houses for migrants who have crossed the border illegally. Another measure would impose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-deploys-special-border-force-ahead-of-expected-migrant-surge\/\" title=\"Texas Deploys Special Border Force Ahead of Expected Migrant Surge\">10-year minimum jail sentence<\/a> for anyone convicted of smuggling people into Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The Texas Tactical Border Force will bolster the state&#8217;s efforts to secure the Texas border amid the chaos caused by President Biden\u2019s elimination of Title 42. With the deployment of this elite National Guard team, Texas is taking a proactive approach to prevent illegal immigration and enforce federal laws.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abbott deploys special border force to intercept and repel large groups of migrants trying to enter Texas illegally<\/li>\n<li>Newly minted Texas Tactical Border Force includes specially trained Texas National Guard members<\/li>\n<li>Elite National Guard team will focus on identifying crossing points and shutting them down<\/li>\n<li>Gov.
