Texas Governor Greg Abbott Warns of Alligator Threat at Border

In response to increasing migrant crossings, Texas has heightened border security, including warnings about alligators in the Rio Grande.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a warning about alligators in the Rio Grande, emphasizing the dangers to migrants attempting to cross the border.
The governor's warning follows the sighting of a large alligator by a local resident, which was shared on social media.
Border security enhancements in Texas include physical barriers and increased military presence, amidst ongoing disputes with the Biden administration over immigration policies.
No alligator attacks on migrants have been reported, but the presence of these dangerous animals has raised concerns among local authorities.
The state's border measures, including a floating barrier and extensive razor wire, are part of Texas' Operation Lone Star, aimed at deterring illegal crossings.
