Texas DPS

Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Thursday authorizing the National Guard and DPS to return immigrants to the Texas-Mexico border.

The Texas public safety chief testified Tuesday, condemning the police response as an “abject failure.”

The Robb Elementary School teacher who propped open an exterior door that law enforcement said a gunman used to get inside and kill 19 students and two teachers had closed the door but it did not lock, state police said Tuesday.

Investigators said Friday that the scene commander at the Uvalde school shooting chose to wait for additional help instead of continuing to attempt entry to a classroom where students had been shot and the gunman barricaded himself behind a locked door.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) says the state will begin enhanced vehicle inspections at the border and will send migrants to Washington D.C. on charter buses in response to the federal government ending Title 42 expulsions.

Officials are searching for a man accused of shooting a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Friday near Mexia.
