Texas is transporting illegal immigrants to the nation’s capital without properly communicating with the federal government, the head of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said on April 14.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott “is taking actions to move migrants without adequately coordinating with the federal government and local border communities,” Chris Magnus, CBP’s commissioner, said in a statement.
