John, you may
have heard about ‘Operation Lone Star’.
It is an insidious, racist effort launched by Texas Governor Greg Abbott
last March which deployed THOUSANDS of law enforcement officers to the
Southern border and gave them wide authority to arrest migrants if they
were suspected of criminal trespassing on state or private property.
This means that people could be arrested for misleading charges and then
detained for MONTHS without ever being given a chance to get legal
representation or to apply for asylum.
But Travis County DA José Garza, a DA that we helped elect, just
successfully argued on behalf of someone who was arrested under Operation
Lone Star. The judge in charge of the case ruled the operation as
unconstitutional in this specific case, laying the groundwork for future
challenges to the program elsewhere.
John, DA Garza has
been doing absolutely incredible work, and this is just another example in
which he has followed through on his promise to challenge powerful actors
who violate peoples’ rights.
If a different DA had been in place, it’s likely this would never have
happened. Operation Lone Star could have been able to continue without
interruption, endangering the lives of thousands of migrants and creating
a separate, underground legal system with no limits.

election — and together, we’ll make sure he can continue delivering on his
promises. Will you join us in standing with DA José Garza and split a
contribution between his reelection campaign and Real Justice today?

Our opposition is scared.
They see our successes.
They see what we are able to accomplish when we come together to elect
progressive DAs who aren’t afraid to challenge the worst actors in our
so-called ‘justice system’ and build a new kind of justice system that
cares for our communities, instead of incarcerating us.
DA José Garza is doing exactly what he set out to do. Now we need to have
his back as he inevitably faces even more attacks and attempts to roll
back the progress he has made as Travis County DA.
[ [link removed] ]Split a contribution between his reelection campaign and Real Justice
today to keep up the fight for transformative justice.
Gratefully,
Real Justice
