We are not a country who signed onto the treaty that prosecutes people under the ICC, name escapes me at present.
We as a nation (our officials) preferred to adjudicate crimes within our borders using our own Department of Justice to whom complaints against Governor Abbott must be made by contacting the White House Switchboard or the Department of Justice, OBTAIN PHOTOS IF POSSIBLE, get professional journalists involved to report these abuses,
contact Homeland Security, do some simple google research in the morning, sorry too sleepy to be more helpful at present but MUST GO THROUGH USA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. VIA THE PRESIDENT MOST EFFECTIVE.
President Biden, this cruel and inhumane use of deadly barriers and actions is in violation of international laws and treaty agreements and must be stopped. And more to the point, Texas certainly shares a border with Mexico, but the simple fact of the matter is that the Federal border of the USA takes precedence over and above any individual states' borders, therefore Texas' border is subject to Federal authority and must be brought in line with acceptable methods of control.
The CPB seems to be its own law along the TX and AZ borders, filled as it is with tRumpy personnel, and why the Biden Administration hasn't jumped on the abusive conduct by Border Patrol officers is beyond me.
This is truly horrifying. Federal charges must brought against Abbott and every single on of his collaborators. I also do not understand why DOJ has not taken action against Abbott and DeSantis for their collaboration in bussing migrants to sanctuary cities such as Chicago and New York with no notice. To me this is human trafficking.
This type of cruelty will be remembered for generations. It is an unnecessary display of power and prejudice. “Not in our name” should be Texan’s response. Our country must come up with better responses to crises than blunt force and cruelty.
Done - Jay, thank you for putting this out to your readers. It is horrifying. This is not the way America treats people. Abbott is complicit in the murder of infants and children. This needs to stop immediately.
Done. Abbott needs to be charged with endangering the welfare of fellow humans and they need to add bias to the crime. He can't be allowed to get away with treating people so inhumanly.
These sadistic acts should render him indicted by the International Criminal Court, and I am NOT being hyperbolic.
Anyone know a guy who knows a guy/gal who cam earmark him for international attention?
He needs to, for starters, resign.

Unconscionable 😡 Signed ✅
Yesterday (Thursday) DOJ announced an investigation into this. Sure hoping it leads to the end of Gog Abbott and LG Patrick!
I figured this administration wasn't ignoring the issue. Hopefully the DOJ is expedient.
Yes, DOJ is not letting this pass:

Double heart here. Well said.
Signed and shared. Absolutely cruel and inhumane. What is wrong with these southern governors?
The CPB seems to be its own law along the TX and AZ borders, filled as it is with tRumpy personnel, and why the Biden Administration hasn't jumped on the abusive conduct by Border Patrol officers is beyond me.
Get Kamala there now to condemn this fascist cruelty. OMG.
Petition, meh. These actions are surely in violation of laws; we might reasonably press the DOJ to investigate and prosecute.
Signed

Signed and shared. I only hope that Abbot and DeSantis eventually pay for their criminal cruelty.

It would be good to add Robert J. Rei's statement to President Biden to this petition.
Abbott is a deplorable. Done.

Does anyone know if Abbot has any authority to take these actions?
Here is a good answer from Joyce Vance
In a word, no.
