Gov. Abbott issued an executive order giving Texas Department of Public Safety troopers the ability to stop any car if they suspect there’s someone inside who crossed the border illegally

Plano, TX – According to the statement, it’s illegal for a civilian to provide ground transportation for one of those migrants.

There’s nothing in the order about where it can happen, so drivers could be stopped anywhere.

If you say no, DPS troopers can impound your car.

Officials say that the new order is due to COVID-19.

Unlawful border crossings have led to a rise in cases in the state.
