Operation Lone Star is a law enforcement initiative in Texas aimed at addressing illegal immigration, primarily by targeting migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The operation involves various agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, local law enforcement, and the National Guard. However, the operation has faced criticism for its aggressive tactics, which have often resulted in fatal outcomes, especially during high-speed pursuits, confrontations, or border detentions. These fatalities disproportionately affect migrants, who are often pursued in dangerous conditions or involved in vehicle crashes as they attempt to flee from law enforcement.
