Democratic Texas lawmakers urge Governor Abbott to cease National Guard deployments for unlawful federal policing actions.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Joaquin Castro, along with nine Democratic colleagues, has urged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt what they describe as the unlawful deployment of the Texas National Guard for civilian law enforcement, including recent troop movements to Chicago. In their letter, they emphasize that this action poses risks to public safety and violates constitutional norms.
The lawmakers argue that sending troops to assist in policing other states undermines the National Guard's core mission and erodes public trust. They have called for Governor Abbott to publicly commit to preventing such deployments and to comply with federal court orders prohibiting these actions.
They also demand that Texas prioritize local emergencies over deployments for federal operations and seek legal assurances that such directives will not expose Texas National Guardsmen to potential legal risks.
