Governor @GregAbbott_TX's decision is going to uproot the lives of thousands of children while pushing them into even more sub-standard conditions.

@GregAbbott_TX This order is clearly another brazen attempt by Abbott to align himself with the former president, who endorsed his reelection yesterday, and demonize immigrants.
Meanwhile, Abbott is doing nothing to solve the problem of the Texas foster care system.

@GregAbbott_TX Abbott is using facilities housing migrant children as a diversion from his terrible governing.
If he cared about children in TX then he would spend money on child welfare rather than pouring tons of $ into an unnecessary armed response at the border to children seeking asylum.

@GregAbbott_TX Threatening facilities housing migrant children with human smuggling and human trafficking charges is despicable. This move proves the governor is hell bent on rewriting criminal laws and exploiting his powers to round up immigrant families and terrorize their communities.
@GregAbbott_TX Migrant children are already in a precarious situation and should not be used as political pawns to advance Abbott’s right-wing agenda.
@GregAbbott_TX This order is an immediate threat to the safety of thousands of children in Texas and shines a light on the urgent need for @POTUS to keep his promise to provide immediate protection to immigrant communities. #KeepThePromise
