NPOV - Lead must cover the criticism also[edit]

What is the name of what Governor Abbott announced in January 2024?[edit]

If Operation Lone Star started as of 6 March 2021, per the article prose; then what is the name of the operation that Texas Governor Abbott announced on 24 January 2024?

It seems rather different from what has passed before. And unclear whether this is an extension of Lone Star? or something new & different. N2e (talk) 04:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abbott Supreme Court Reaction[edit]

Should his recent statements regarding rejecting the supreme court decision be added? N7o2h3 (talk) N7o2h3 (talk) 17:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added content clarifying the razor wire ruling and how it relates to eagle pass park. Abbot's actions are not a "rejection", since the case concerned whether or not Border Patrol had legal authority to cut razor wire. That dispute began well before the current issue with Shelby Park. Prior to the SCOTUS ruling, the Fifth Circuit blocked federal officials from cutting wire via a temporary injunction pending trial. The SCOTUS decision vacated the Fifth Circuit injunction. This ruling allows cutting of wire while the case is ongoing. It did not impact whether Texas could actually lay down more razor wire or whether they had to allow border patrol into the park to cut razor wire in the area, and is not actually a final ruling. Texas Public Radio has a good explainer on it.

There are some politicians and others saying Texas is/should/shouldn't defy the ruling, which comes down to a misunderstanding of what it is. KiharaNoukan (talk) 02:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source[edit]

The Washington Post has a long-form article that attempts to put a timeline on the major events of Operation Lone Star from 2021 through early 2024, contextualizing the whole thing, including the Texas Governor's recent letter on the Constitutional dispute of States vs. the US Federal government. link — N2e (talk) 03:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties in Infobox[edit]

The attribution of migrants drowned trying to ford the Rio Grande to this dispute is too thin to justify inclusion. I intend to remove unless there are objections. Riposte97 (talk) 05:26, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, also the operation causing the death of a girl in a bus is quite a stretch. Eldaniay (talk) 22:48, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed mentions pending any findings attributing the deaths to OLS or a consensus to add. KiharaNoukan (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
