Texas Defies Biden Administration's Demand for Full Access to Disputed Border Area Amid Ongoing Standoff

As the migrant crisis escalates, Governor Abbott maintains Texas's right to secure its own border, while residents report daily sightings of illegal migrants and overcrowded hospitals.

  • Texas continues to deny the Biden administration's demands for full access to the disputed border area at Shelby Park, Eagle Pass, amid an ongoing standoff between the state and federal government.
  • Residents of Eagle Pass report daily sightings of groups of illegal migrants running through their properties, and local hospitals are reportedly overrun with illegal migrants.
  • The Supreme Court has sided with the Biden administration, granting an emergency appeal to allow agents to cut border wire set up by Texas, but Border Patrol currently has 'no plans' to remove the wire unless in an emergency.
  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott maintains that Texas has the legal authority to secure its own southern border and accuses President Biden of violating his oath to 'faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress.'
  • The ongoing feud between Texas and federal authorities over jurisdiction and approach to the migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border has resulted in tragic incidents, including the drowning of two children and a mother in the Rio Grande near Shelby Park.
