Texas authorities are preparing to confront “potential mass migration events” along the southern frontier, indicating an anticipated post-election border surge could come to fruition.
On Friday, Gov. Greg Abbott issued a press release detailing efforts being made under Operation Lone Star, a joint operation between the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Military Department launched in 2021 in response to the ongoing Biden-Harris invasion.
An accompanying video shows Texas National Guard soldiers practicing riot control formations and training with pepper ball launchers, which they have been using to deter illegal crossings with increasing frequency.
Texas is ramping up border security efforts to stop potential mass migration at the southern border.

“Under Operation Lone Star, Texas National Guard soldiers continue to prepare and train for potential mass migration events along the Texas-Mexico border,” Gov. Abbott stated.
“In El Paso, Texas National Guard soldiers are conducting mass migration response exercises along with state and local law enforcement to ensure they are ready to deter and repel any mass illegal immigration attempt.”
Texas has also been quietly erecting sections of border barrier to fill in gaps left when the Biden regime cancelled projects started by the Trump administration.

Authorities and immigration hawks believe the likelihood of a border blitz during the coming months is high as ‘migrants’ from across the globe scramble to reach the U.S. before Donald Trump is sworn back in as president.
“I predict a mad rush to the border as they attempt to cross before Trump shuts it down completely. We’re seeing the initial wave in Eagle Pass,” Texas-based border reporter Auden Cabello told InfoWars this week.
Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County, AZ, voiced similar concerns in comments to NewsNation’s Ali Bradley, saying, “They’re going to push hard right now. The cartels, they know they have to. They have a president coming in who’s made it very clear, and based on his track record, he will secure this border.”
InfoWars will monitor this situation as it develops.
