Jack, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has escalated his egregious, politically motivated maneuvers, using human beings—migrants and asylum-seekers—as pawns in his partisan game to score political points. His actions have crossed the line into blatant human rights abuses, and it's time we stand up and demand accountability.

Sign the petition: Demand that the Department of Justice take immediate action to investigate Governor Greg Abbott's human rights abuses against migrants and asylum-seekers.

In a cold-hearted move–even for a right-wing extremist–on New Year's Eve, Gov. Abbott arranged flights to Chicago for hundreds of migrants amidst freezing temperatures. Many of these individuals, searching for safety and a better life, found themselves in a snowy city, ill-equipped for the cold, some without coats and others in flip-flops. This cruel act is part of a larger pattern, where Gov. Abbott has proudly claimed the transportation of over 95,000 migrants to various "Democrat-run cities and states," vowing to continue this practice.

Asylum is not just a legal right, but a fundamental human right rooted in the principle of human dignity. Gov. Abbott is not only ignoring this right but is also exploiting vulnerable individuals for political gain, blatantly ignoring their human rights and subjecting them to traumatic experiences. It's crucial to remember that the vast majority of these people are in the United States legally, seeking safety and a better future.

We cannot stand by and watch Gov. Abbott continue these human rights violations without facing any consequences. The Department of Justice must step in and conduct a thorough investigation into these actions.
