His claim that he does not trust Governor Tim Walz is belied by the fact that less than a week ago, he forwarded an order to extradite another accused to Minnesota. Abbott has approved every Minnesota extradition request for the past five years, including three this summer while leaving this one unsigned. The only difference is that the accused in this case is an ICE agent charged with the type of unnecessary violence that ICE has permitted. Unless Abbott acts, this accused felon could be back on the street next week. Abbott is more interested in burnishing his well-known anti-immigrant credentials than following the law.” A letter from all Texas Democratic Congressmembers, urging Governor Abbott to proceed with the requested extradition can be found here. ###	1	2026-08-20T05:28:41Z	2026-08-20T05:29:58Z
