Monday asking for a federal investigation into Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star by the Department of Homeland Security civil rights compliance unit.
At issue are federal laws that place immigration enforcement under the command of federal authorities. The five-page complaint was filed with the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at DHS in D.C. “Texas DPS officers are not bound by those same standards in their day-to-day operations,” reads the complaint letter signed by 3 ACLU attorneys. The scorching heat wave of triple-digit temperatures in Texas exacerbate concerns, according to the complaint. “Holding people outside for almost three hours in the South Texas summer poses a risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke,” the ACLU attorneys said.
