As I predicted earlier this week, Greg Abbott is not backing down and has no plans to. In fact, Abbott has stepped it up a notch.

Chris Olivarez, a lieutenant with the Department of Public Safety, posted on social media Wednesday evening that Texas DPS troopers are arresting refugees at the border and charging them with criminal trespassing.
