Texas is calling Biden's bluff. These operations enhance border security.
Biden will now have to decide whether he is willing to trample on the sovereignty of the US by employing the force of government to stop Texas from securing the border.
This is likely destined to head to SCOTUS, in a case similar to 2010 US v Arizona which allowed the Obama Admin to stop AZ from checking illegal aliens for identification and other measures. The court sided with Obama, with a scathing dissent from Clarence Thomas.
The make up of the court is different now, obviously, and the fact pattern is even more dramatically obvious.
As for now, Biden will need to decide how openly and blatantly he wishes to drop the mask for the entire country and show that he is willing to use force against his own countrymen in order to allow illegal foreigners into the United States.
The case is clear: Texas is on the side of citizens, Biden is on the side of a foreign invasion, a constitutional crisis of historic proportions
NEW: The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds “perpetuate illegal crossings”. This is the area where Border Patrol has been cutting TX razor wire. Razor wire and fences are now deployed to block the area off from the public and federal government. Attached video is from our crew on the ground this morning as they began blocking it off.
You can expect DOJ to sue Texas over this.
Texas Military Department statement:
“The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021. The current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area.”
I reached out to CBP/Border Patrol in the sector for comment hours ago - no response yet.
