Outlines
🚨 Texas-Federal Border Standoff

Despite a court ruling permitting the removal of razor wire, Border Patrol has no immediate plans to do so. This tension is part of a larger dispute, as Texas refuses to allow federal access to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass by the set deadline. Texas, maintaining control of key border areas, has added more barriers despite federal opposition.

CONTROL OF THE HIGH CROSSING
AREA EARLIER THIS MONTH, EVEN
THOUGH THE FED SAID THEY NEEDED
IT TO DO THEIR JOB. A
COURTRILLIONULING MONDAY ALSO
PAVED THE WAY FOR THE FEDS TO
TAKE DOWN RAZOR WIRE, BUT TEXAS
HAS SINCE ADDED MORE. IT
PROMPTED SOME CALLS FOR THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER
THE TEXAS GUARD, AND I WOULD
REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN MOBILIZE
A STATE'S. NATIONAL GUARD ARE
OUTLINED IN THE LAW, RIGHT, SO
