This podcast episode covers Operation Lone Star, a Texas border security program initiated in 2021. The initiative aims to address border security issues by deterring migrants from crossing into the United States and seeking asylum. It has been met with criticism due to its high cost, impact on the state's criminal justice system, and allegations of mistreatment of migrants. Despite the challenges, Texas is looking to expand the program and add physical barriers along the border, highlighting the complexities of addressing border security and the need for a comprehensive approach.
