Texas AG Accuses Biden Administration of Aiding Cartels Amid Record Migration

Ken Paxton responds to record-breaking migration numbers, potential DOJ lawsuit over new immigration law, and criticism from sanctuary cities.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accuses the Biden administration of 'aiding and abetting' drug cartels, in response to record-breaking migration numbers at the southern border.
Paxton's comments come as a 15,000-person migrant caravan is reportedly making its way to the border, and Customs and Border Protection sources report over 276,000 migrant encounters in December alone.
The Department of Justice has warned Texas of potential legal action if a new immigration law allowing local law enforcement officers to arrest individuals suspected of entering the U.S. illegally is implemented.
Paxton criticizes mayors of Democrat-led sanctuary cities who have blamed Texas for bussing migrants to their cities, arguing that northern cities are only seeing a fraction of the migrant crisis compared to Texas.
The Texas Attorney General also highlights the cost of the border crisis, particularly in terms of crime and drug trafficking, and argues that the issue is an 'American problem' caused by the Biden administration.
