Summary

As Donald Trump begins his second term, Texas’s aggressive immigration policies under Governor Greg Abbott, such as Operation Lone Star, could serve as a model for nationwide crackdowns.

Measures include bussing migrants to Democratic-led cities, building state border walls, and enacting laws to penalize undocumented crossings.

These efforts reshaped the national immigration narrative, contributing to Trump’s re-election.

With Republicans controlling both state and federal governments, mass deportations and harsher policies targeting immigrant communities, including children, may worsen, raising concerns about societal and humanitarian impacts.
