Texas Governor Greg Abbott last week ordered ten M113 armored personnel carriers to the state’s border with Mexico in response to an expected increase in illegal activity due to the end of Title 42 migrant expulsion procedures on Dec. 21.

“The personnel carriers are being trucked to security points along the border to enhance protection amid increasing cartel-driven criminal activity,” Abbott’s office said in a statement, reported Breitbart.
