Texas governor Greg Abbott laid out the ins-and-outs of Operation Lone Star, his administration's plan aimed at clamping down on unlawful immigration. Among the biggest takeaways from an interview with NewsNation was his intention to install more buoy barriers along the state's border with Mexico, expanding the 1,000-foot-long barrier of buoys in the waters between Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras.
