The Biden administration has threatened to take legal action against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott after he ordered federally-funded detention centers for migrant children who were brought illegally into the U.S. to close.
In a Monday letter that was leaked to The Associated Press, Paul Rodriguez, the deputy general counsel for the Department of Health and Human Services said despite the fact that Texas issues licenses for the shelters to operate, he is authorized by Congress to take care of the unaccompanied migrant children.
Rodriguez warned the Republican governor to rescind his order and to not interfere with the operations of the centers or face legal action for shuttering them.
“(The Office of Refugee Resettlement) operates 52 state-licensed facilities in Texas, which comprise a significant portion of ORR’s total operational footprint, and represent an indispensable component of the federal immigration system,” Rodriguez wrote to Abbott and two other officials, the AP reported . Such a “proclamation would be a direct attack on this system,” Rodriguez added.
The deputy counsel instructed Abbott to notify him by June 11 if the governor’s declaration last week applies to the 52 shelters currently licensed throughout the Lone Star State but which are funded with federal money. Rodriguez also said that under current federal law, migrant children “do not accrue unlawful presence” while residing inside the country in pushing back against Abbott’s claim they are “unlawful immigrants.”
The AP noted that more than half of migrant children that are currently being held by the federal government are residing in Texas. Last month, federal agencies reported that 4,223 migrant children out of roughly 7,000 in U.S. government custody are in Texas shelters.
“Experts and advocates say shutting down these shelters could seriously disrupt the program for unaccompanied children, which already faces capacity problems forcing the government to open up a dozen emergency sites to process thousands of children,” the AP reported.

Axios noted last week that Abbott’s May 31 order to close the centers is linked to a disaster declaration he signed.
“The Biden administration’s immigration policies are failing Texans, causing a humanitarian crisis in many Texas communities along the border,” Abbott said in […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
