Gov. Greg Abbott orders Texas child-care regulators to yank licenses of facilities housing immigrant kids

AUSTIN — Escalating his showdown with President Joe Biden, Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday ordered state child-care regulators to yank licenses from facilities that house minors who crossed the state’s southern border without papers and were detained.

Currently, 52 state-licensed general residential operations and child placing agencies in Texas have contracts with the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement to care for undocumented immigrant children. ORR contracts with about 200 facilities in 22 states.

Within three months or so, Abbott’s move apparently would force them to stop serving unaccompanied minors because the facilities must have state licenses to qualify for the federal contracts.

Yes, a victory.

Abbott finally doing what he should have done to begin with. I appreciate what he is doing now, but I dont know that it will save him. Sentiment against him running pretty high in Texas.

There's a saying in Tx

>As Texas goes, so goes the nation

I hope this holds true for other anons on this vvvvvv
