Migrant apprehensions are down at the Texas border. Have state policies had an impact?

Abbott has credited his Operation Lone Star for a recent drop in migrant encounters on the Texas-Mexico border.

Texas DPS special agents apprehend a group of five undocumented migrants from Honduras that were caught in private property as part of Operation Lone Star in Kinney County near Brackettville on Nov. 8, 2021. The owner of the property did not sign an affidavit for arrests of undocumented migrants to be taking place at their property so the group of Hondurans will be processed by Border Patrol instead.
