President Joe Biden’s “catch and release” policy for illegal immigrants coming across the U.S. southern border violates his constitutional duty, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday after a federal court struck down the program.

“Yesterday, another federal court announced what Texans—and Americans—have known all along: President Biden’s open border policies are, in the words of Judge Wetherell, ‘akin to posting a flashing Come In We’re Open sign on the southern border,’” Abbott, a Republican, said in a statement.
