What’s Florida Highway Patrol doing at the Mexico border? Here’s what we saw

EAGLE PASS, Tex. – I just returned from the Mexico border, where I observed Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol taking part in Operation Lone Star, an initiative launched by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in 2021 to combat illegal immigration.

To avoid any possibility that Florida officials might stage “photo ops” for our cameras, I did not alert anyone in state government that I was coming to Texas.

I highly encourage you to watch the video above to see exactly what we captured with our cameras over a two-day period.

As you draw your own conclusions about the potential value of the mission to Florida taxpayers, I must stress that our video shows only a small snapshot in time.
