Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday announced an additional $38.4 million funding for Operation Lone Star (OLS), which was launched in March in response to the burgeoning crisis at the southern border.

The extra funding will go toward law enforcement, jail operations, and court administration activities in direct support of OLS, the Republican governor’s office said in a press release.
