| [FoxNews] Governor says there are nearly 5,400 migrants with active warrants statewide Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the state's Department of Public Safety (DPS) tactical strike teams to assist with the Trump administration’s operation to locate and arrest criminal illegal immigrants statewide. "Texas is expanding our operations to assist President Donald Trump to protect Americans and enforce the rule of law," Abbott said Tuesday. "Today, I directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to deploy tactical strike teams to work alongside our federal partners to enforce immigration laws throughout the state. "These teams will coordinate with Homeland Security agencies to track down the thousands of illegal immigrants with active warrants across Texas and deport them from our country," Abbott added. "After four years of failed policies, Texas finally has a partner in President Trump. Together, we will end this crisis and make America safe once again." Abbott’s office said DPS tactical strike teams will work with the Homeland Security Task Force to utilize personnel and resources in order to identify and arrest the nearly 5,400 illegal immigrants with active warrants from across Texas. The order comes just days after Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis announced that her department will not assist federal agents with civil immigration enforcement efforts. Austin PD did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter. Still, the Austin American-Stateman reported on Monday that ICE arrests were conducted in Austin over the weekend, and in response, Davis contacted federal officials about the operations. She was told by federal officials the operation targeted "wanted violent offenders." She also told the publication that even though Austin police officers were not involved in the raids, "these are people APD would be looking for as well. They were wanted for violent offenses."
