Texas National Guard Seizes Control of U.S.-Mexico Border Stretch
Justice Department Files Supreme Court Case Against Texas Over Border Control
- The Texas National Guard has taken control of a 2.5-mile stretch of the U.S. border with Mexico, denying U.S. Border Patrol agents access to the area.
- The Justice Department has filed a Supreme Court case against the state of Texas, asserting that the state's actions are creating chaos and preventing federal enforcement of immigration laws.
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott has defended the state's actions, stating that Texas has the authority to control access to any geographic location within the state.
- The state's actions are part of a larger border enforcement effort known as Operation Lone Star, which has led to multiple legal disputes between the state and federal government.
- The Justice Department's emergency request to the Supreme Court states that Border Patrol agents no longer have access to a 2.5-mile stretch of the border in the region.
