EAGLE PASS (Nexstar) -- Gov. Greg Abbott will be at the southern border Thursday afternoon to unveil the latest border security strategy to deter migrants from crossing into Texas. He will be joined by Texas Department of Public Safety Director Col. Freeman Martin, Rose Luna, the CEO of the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, ranchers Kimberly and Martin Wall, and other state border officials. In a post to X Thursday morning, the Governor said, "Texas is fighting to stop illegal immigration, human smuggling, and drug trafficking. I launched Operation Lone Star in 2021 to do just that." Since March 2021, when Operation Lone Star began, there have been 516,300 illegal immigrant apprehensions, 45,300 criminal arrests, 39,400 felony charges, and 505 million lethal doses of fentanyl seized, according to the Governor's office. Those numbers were last updated in July 2024. The Texas Facilities Commission, the agency in charge of building the state-funded wall, says Texas has completed 50 miles of the wall so far. There is another 15.5 miles of border that is either under construction or awaiting construction. There is active border construction at 13 different sites across Cameron, Starr, Zapata, Webb, Maverick, and Val Verde counties, according to the TFC website.
