So, why hasn't President Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland publicly announced that he's starting a federal investigation into Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's blockading the Rio Grande and DPS Executive Director Steve McCraw's enforcement of it? Yeah, the DOJ says that Strangeabbott has until today to "commit to" (big loophole right there) removing it.
Update, this afternoon: Wallmonger Joe is suing, after all. Why no criminal charges?
Abbott's border offensive is probably not that effective, per the WSJ (as well as not being wanted by many Texas border counties and burning a hole in the budget) but it is inhumane. Border/Lines discusses in more detail, as well as discussing Biden and the Border Patrol.
Above and beyond that, why hasn't Biden told Strangeabbott: "Since you think you and McCraw are so damned good at border protection, I'm removing ALL Border Patrol from the Texas sector immediately"?
Reality? As places like Border/Lines have long reported, Biden has replaced Trump's Title 42 with a tech-neoliberal equivalent of it, and somebody in the White House knew that that's what Biden's craptacular-working smartphone app for asylum application would be. Jeff St. Clair talks more in the second half of last Friday's Roaming Charges.
Bottom line is that Appmonger Joe and Strangeabbott are playing kabuki theater with each other.
