(Montinique Monroe\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 2:25 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, July 29, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>On Wednesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed an <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/uploads\/files\/press\/EO-GA-37_transportation_of_migrants_during_COVID_IMAGE_07-28-2021.pdf\">executive order<\/a> banning ground transportation of migrants who risk spreading the COVID-19 virus. The governor authorized the Texas Department of Public Safety to stop any vehicle suspected of carrying migrants that could be infected with coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cwe must do more to protect Texans from this virus and reduce the burden on our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) pleaded the Biden administration\u2019s open border policies have created a surge down south. \u201cIn the last two weeks we had a 900% increase in COVID positive people illegally crossing the border into the United States,\u201d said Arrington.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden&#8217;s open-border policies have created a surge in COVID-positive illegal immigrants pouring into our country.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s trying to impose more restrictions on Americans in the name of \u201cpublic health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This defies logic. Enforce Title 42 and secure our border. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3zIJJSOWnR\">pic.twitter.com\/3zIJJSOWnR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Jodey Arrington (@RepArrington) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepArrington\/status\/1420432126491734022?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Two whistleblowers recently came forward saying a COVID outbreak among migrant children at the Fort Bliss facility was wildly downplayed by officials. According to the complaint presented to Congress on Wednesday, the outbreak took place from April to June of this year. The whistleblowers claimed \u201cCOVID was widespread among children and eventually spread to many employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/texasimpact.org\/2021\/06\/title-42\/\">Title 42<\/a>, certain individuals can be turned away at the border if they pose such risk of spreading COVID-19 and if lifted, could threaten the health and safety of U.S. citizens. However, just this week the Texas Police Department at the border town of La Joya warned residents that the border patrol was releasing illegal immigrants infected with the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are now criticizing the Biden administration for urging Americans to practice safe COVID precautions while just the opposite is happening down south as illegal immigrants are comfortably crossing the border.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/liberal-media-criticizes-cdc-on-mask-guidance\/\">Liberal Media Criticizes CDC On Mask Guidance<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State Rep.
