“On Wednesday, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order effectively making it illegal for certain undocumented immigrants to travel within the second largest state in the country. Although Abbott’s order is perhaps the most sweeping restriction on the right to travel since Japanese internment, it has received scant attention by the Biden administration, whose anti-immigrant policies facilitated Abbott’s measure.

The internal travel ban is an attack on the democratic rights of the entire population and must be actively opposed by workers, regardless of immigration status. In recent months, Abbott has begun enforcing his own state immigration policy, deploying the Texas National Guard and 1,000 state troopers to the border to arrest thousands of immigrants as part of “Operation Lone Star.” Abbott has also allocated $250 million in state funding to construct a border wall, all with ex-president Donald Trump’s explicit approval.”
