White House calls Abbott's latest actions at border 'a problem'

The White House views the latest actions at the southern border by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) as a “problem” that the Biden administration is closely monitoring and could respond to with legal action come Thursday.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in a Zoom call Tuesday afternoon that the way that the third-term GOP governor is “getting involved” is “extreme” and has not gone unnoticed by Washington.
