NEW: The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (My Title)

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 yetNEW: The Border Patrol union confirms to me that agents are being blocked by Texas soldiers, and the union is praising Abbott for seizing control.

@BPUnion statement:

“Governor Abbott is not harming Border Patrol operations, he is enhancing them. His seizing control of Shelby Park allows our agents to deploy to troubled spots that experience high numbers of gotaways. Governor Abbott’s actions should be seen as a force multiplier.” @BPUnion The city of Eagle Pass also confirms that its mayor was notified by @TxDPS that TX was taking control of Shelby Park as a result of @GovAbbott emergency declaration.

Please don't bite my head off guys. I have already posted an article on this, but this is a more informative update. The Border Patrol Union recognizes that the Texas Governor is not hampering operations but is actually enhancing them. Important to note too that the Texas National Guard is involved. Personally this is necessary because the Cartels have military grade weapons.

If anything, the sanctuary cities mayors who are bitching about their immigrant problems should be telling THEIR governors to send their National Guard units to Texas.

In the meantime, Joe continues his beauty sleep which began about 4:30 pm after Joe finished watching Trump evade Joe’s traps, today was Ergeron and Letitia’s attempts to steal Trump’s wealth and properties in the state of New York.

You may be right.

It could happen.

Even in the unlikely event that this doesn’t fizzle out like every other attempt to stem the flow...

It will only slow the invading hordes down by a couple of days... They just will shift to the west and come in through New Mexico, where ‘Govornorlissima Lujan ‘ will welcome them with open arms and open taxpayer’s wallets. Or Another couple hundred miles further west where Kartel Katie will do the same.
