White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan states.

"Governor Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any Federal or local authorities. This was a cruel, dangerous, and shameful stunt."

White House slams Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over migrants dropped in DC

Texas has sent more than 8,700 migrants to Washington, DC, since the spring, the governor's office said.

@wdlindsy how is there not a law against this?

Reckless endangerment?

@markstuartdavis @wdlindsy
I'm not a lawyer, but this would seem to violate several laws:

1. It's harassment, since it's directed specifically and repeatedly at the VP from a political opponent

2. Abbott is involved in a conspiracy to transport minors across state lines. Seems problematic

3. It's human trafficking: Abbott is transporting people for the sole purpose of serving his ends, w/o real consent

4. It's fraud: it's likely the migrants are being lied to about the trip

My guess is the best course of action would be for the DoJ to send a strongly worded notice that interstate human trafficking is a serious matter, so knock it off, #GregAbbott
