Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas DPS and the Texas National Guard are continuing to work together to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons and people into our state

Waco, TX – According to the state officials, they are also working to prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry.

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 355,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 25,000 criminal arrests, with more than 23,000 felony charges reported.

In the fight against fentanyl, DPS has seized over 366 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.

Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border.

Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Biden’s open border policies.
