RGV leaders plot ways to thwart Abbott's border plans
RIO GRANDE CITY, Texas – The four county judges in the Rio Grande Valley are strategizing ways to oppose Gov. Greg Abbott’s plans to build a new border wall and arrest undocumented immigrants that cross that wall.
Starr County Judge Eloy Vera says he is in discussions with his counterparts in the Valley – Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr., and Willacy County Judge Aurelio ‘Keeter” Guerra, Jr.
Vera told the Rio Grande Guardian that he did not go to Gov. Abbott’s much-publicized border security summit in Del Rio last week. At the event, Abbott proclaimed the border a disaster area.
“I did not go and I am very careful how I answer that. You know the politics behind all this,” Vera said. “What I usually start off with is, I am sure the governor has a lot more information than I do. But, having said that, there are things that really concern me.”
