The tension between Texas governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration has been simmering for months. Over the weekend, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas slammed the governor's administration for what he perceives to be politicized immigration policy and the "unconscionable" management of asylum-seekers.
"This is the first time in my 20 to 22 years of government service that I see a state act in direct contravention of national interests, and in the service of what I would respectfully submit: politics" said Mayorkas of Texas.
