Dear Friend,

Do you believe illegal immigrants should be lawfully detained, adjudicated, and deported?

Last week, alarming reports of illegal immigrants being released from local detention facilities in West Texas and transported to the Abilene community have come to my attention. I am alarmed and extremely concerned this is happening right here in West Texas. I sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tae Johnson demanding answers.

I also joined KTAB News to discuss the situation in Abilene, as well as how President Biden’s failed immigration policies have caused the crisis raging on our southern border. Learn more about the situation in Abilene here and here.
