Immigrant advocates begin documenting civil-rights abuses under Texas' Operation Lone Star
Immigrant-rights activists this week said they're documenting incidents of alleged abuse under Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star border crackdown. During an online conference call hosted by Frontera Texas Organizing Project, groups including Border Network for Human Rights said the governor's $11 million deployment of National Guard troops to deter border crossings has led to widespread civil-rights violations, according to Border Report. Aly Boyd of Border Servant Corps, which operates migrant shelters in El Paso and New Mexico, said the organization has created a "documentation tool" to record complaints as it encounters asylum seekers who share abuse claims, the news site reports.
