A little less than two months ago, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott held a hastily called press conference outside an emergency shelter in San Antonio, where he delivered a blistering indictment of the federal government’s failure to properly care for the migrant children held there. “This facility,” Abbott said, “is a health and safety nightmare.” He called for the Freeman Coliseum shelter to be shut down immediately, and for the children housed inside to be moved to other federally operated facilities, presumably those run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, where, Abbott said, “the federal government has the space, personnel and resources to ensure their safety.”
Gov. Greg Abbott, as part of declaring a disaster because of conditions at the Texas-Mexico border, ordered state officials on Tuesday to yank the licenses.
Escalating his showdown with President Joe Biden, Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday ordered state child-care regulators to yank licenses from facilities that house.
