These DPS strike teams are set to coordinate with a newly established Homeland Security Task Force and hope to identify and arrest nearly 5,400 illegal aliens with active warrants across the state of Texas.
Abbott went on to say, "After four years of failed policies, Texas finally has a partner in President Trump. Together, we will end this crisis and make America safe once again."
