Texas Democrats are pushing back against armed militias gathering at the southern border.
In a letter to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the lawmakers warn that the presence of the vigilantes — many clad in military-style fatigues and carrying assault rifles — will only exacerbate the problems facing authorities, as they try to manage the wave of child migrants who have crossed into the state in recent months.
