Analysis: Gov. Greg Abbott issues non-apology apology for calling shooting victims 'illegal immigrants'

After drawing outrage for firing off a press release identifying the victims of last Friday's mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, as "illegal immigrants," Gov. Greg Abbott's office expressed a modicum of regret in a followup statement. The regret embodied in the two-paragraph statement shared Tuesday by Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze appears limited to the governor's office getting the facts wrong about one of the people who died. As pointed out in the wake of Sunday's release, one of those slain was, in fact, a permanent U.S. resident.
