She praised their efforts by stating: “This team of dedicated inspectors patrols the U.S.-Mexico border to stop the spread of cattle fever ticks and New World Screwworm.”
Later that day, she commemorated Juneteenth by recalling its historical significance: “On June 19th, 1865, the news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas.” She emphasized honoring this momentous announcement and upholding national ideals of freedom and equality for all.
