...than I expected.The Biden administration has threatened to legally challenge Gov. Greg Abbott’s order that state troopers pull over Texas drivers transporting migrants who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19. https://t.co/BiRzeUgeRX

Maybe we all got used to four years of Trump, but this feels like bringing the hammer down. I don’t even care that Abbott will trumpet his righteous racism as standing up for states’ rights and public health. I just want to see his racist abuse of government power curb-stomped to the gutter ASAP.
And it feels like I’m going to.
(Though I still object to the narrative that Abbott wants to detain people who pose a risk of spreading Covid. He didn’t order troopers to test immigrants, just to detain them. There are major 4th and 14th Amendment issues here, aside from federal supremacy in matters of who is allowed into the country on what terms.)
