The Texas National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas over the objections of local officials and federal law enforcement

The Biden administration sued Texas last week over recent legislation signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing that grants local law enforcement the authority to arrest migrants and allow judges to order deportations. The administration argues that the law goes against constitutional mandates granting the federal government authority over border enforcement.

    On Thursday, Abbott was subject to widespread criticism when asked where the line was for him in terms of border enforcement mechanisms he suggested the only reason Texas is not shooting migrants crossing the border “is because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”

      the Texas GOP is basically a fascist party and has been for awhile, and this permeates even its upper echelons. its members even meet with fascists like Nick Fuentes at this point
