Pfluger Prohibits Remain-in-Texas Policy

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) filed an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill to prohibit any federal funding from being used to implement the “Remain-in-Texas” policy that the Admin is reportedly considering.

Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11): "It's not a coincidence that the Biden Administration began considering a 'Remain-in-Texas' policy the same week that New York City Mayor Eric Adams openly criticized the chaos at our border and stated that the migrant crisis 'will destroy New York City.' Liberal sanctuary cities like New York that openly obstruct federal immigration laws and have policies in place to shield criminals from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should not be immune to the crisis at our border. Biden’s Remain-in-Texas policy must remain in the trash can. I will fight any efforts by this administration to force Texans to bear the brunt of their immigration crisis."
