Gov. Abbott calls on attorney general to investigate NGOs assisting “illegal immigrants”

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Governor Greg Abbott is asking the state's attorney general to investigate non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that may have assisted with illegal border crossings near El Paso.

Gov. Abbott says recent reports indicate NGOs may be unlawfully orchestrating border crossings on both sides of the border, including sectors other than El Paso.

"I stand ready to work with you to craft any sensible legislative solutions your office may propose that are aimed at solving the ongoing border crisis and the role that NGOs may play in encouraging it," Abbott writes in his letter.
