Is This Thing On?

Keilar then asked about Trump's plan to send hundreds of thousands of American troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Trump did deploy troops to the U.S./Mexico border, which was nuts because legally they couldn't do anything there," she said. "Nonetheless, the actual plan is even more nuts."
When I tell you Abbott is working hard to out-Trump DeSantis, you should listen to me: Yes, that was a year ago. They're still there, and still as ineffective as U.S. troops were. And they're real happy to be there: They found his body a day later. So what did they do about it? Yup: "Stop saving migrants in the river!" That's all the leadership of the Guard could offer, because they don't have the flotation equipment to keep soldiers from drowning, too. Having accomplished nothing, Abbott just doubled down: He's not through with Plyler, either: Like I said: outlaw.
An outlaw was a man who had literally been put outside the protection of the law. Only men over 14 could be outlawed. Women were said to be ‘waived’ rather than outlawed although the practical outcome was the same. Outlawry normally occurred as a consequence of a criminal or civil action, although the process could occasionally begin with a petition in parliament. Criminal outlawries arose from indictments for treason, rebellion, conspiracy or other serious felonies. Civil outlawries were generally proclaimed in cases of debt.
In the words of Quentin Tarantino, Abbott wants to go medieval on their asses.  Literally.

Brown people! Booga-booga!
