Gov Abbott Blasts Migrant Accused of Setting Home on Fire With Children Inside

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently lambasted the migrant who allegedly tried killing his children in a house fire, and vowed to work with President-elect Trump’s incoming “border czar” to enforce law and order.

Pedro Luis Parra Pulgar, 46, was recently charged with three counts of attempted murder over a Nov. 6 incident at his home. The migrant allegedly set his Fulshear, Texas, home on fire while his three children were inside.

It is unclear whether Pulgar immigrated to the U.S. legally. Fox News Digital inquired about his legal status to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Abbott described his legal status as “unknown.”

In a Monday post on X, the Texas governor called for Pulgar to “spend the rest of his life” in jail.

“A Venezuelan immigrant – legal status unknown – is accused of setting a Texas house on fire with three children inside,” Abbott’s post read. “He better spend the rest of his life behind bars.” (Read more from “Gov Abbott Blasts Migrant Accused of Setting Home on Fire With Children Inside” HERE)
