The impact:
According to recent reports, Texas state troopers working under Gov. Greg Abbott's multi-billion-dollar anti-immigrant initiative – called Operation Lone Star – have been instructed to push young children and nursing mothers back into the Rio Grande. This river is also where Texas officials have been placing razor wire, despite the injuries they know these traps have already caused. These horrific actions are a shock to our conscience: Cruelty to people seeking asylum is not a policy solution.

Body:
I'm reaching out in response to the alarming reports that Texas state troopers working under Gov. Greg Abbott's multi-billion-dollar anti-immigrant initiative - Operation Lone Star - have been instructed to push young children and nursing mothers back into the Rio Grande. Please, I'm urging you to decisively end any collusion with Operation Lone Star, which has facilitated and encouraged Texas's expansion of a proven human and civil rights disaster, and to do everything in your power to remove Gov. Abbott's dangerous barriers in the Rio Grande River.
I urge you to end any collaboration your offices have with Operation Lone Star immediately and work to remove Gov. Abbott's dangerous barriers in the Rio Grande.
Sincerely,
