Law enforcement officials with the state of Texas appear to have taken control of the situation in Del Rio, Texas, after the Biden administration repeatedly failed to stop tens of thousands of migrants from illegally entering the United States.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is in full force along the border around the Del Rio area,” Governor Greg Abbott said in a tweet that featured a picture showing scores of law enforcement vehicles that had descended on the area. “They have built a barricade with their squad cars and State Troopers. The National Guard is working with them to secure the border.”

It's worse than that. Who do you think is funding and planning the trip from Haiti and similar potential pools of future US voters?
The military isn’t the problem it’s the Marxist few in charge purging ensues.
yes
Many of the “good ones” have already been purged, if not most
No many are still around it’s politics game going on now the fight is on.
I am fine with their new murder an unborn child bill.
Due to official documentation, like Federal/State Memoranda of Understanding, and the interplay between Federal and State Law, it very likely took this long for Attorneys advising Gov. Abbott to figure out what actions were unassailably within his power as Governor.
This isn’t freakin’ Hollywood; he can’t just haul a bazillion Texas badges down there slingin’ guns and willy-nilly herd 15,000 people back across the river without thinking out all the gory legal details. Such recklessness Executive Action on Abbott’s part could damn well cripple his future ability to do anything, and could well land his ass in the Federal Prison on Federal charges.
He’s not a f’n Democrat, you know; he has no measure of immunity unless all of Texas were to stand up, defy the Federal powers, and say, in effect “He’s our Governor, he’s doing what we want, and just let’s see you try to come get him.”
Even looking at the gutter sniping going on here on FR, Abbott simply DOES NOT have that kind of support. Frankly, it’s a damnable shame he doesn’t; Washington DC could stand to be openly, and thoroughly defied w/resp to a huge national policy issue like this one.
You've got maybe 250 officers and agents there trying to pen in 12,000 Hatian invaders, and you think that's deriliction of duty?
Do you even know any Feds on the Southern Border? These are some very hard men and women with incredible dedication and bravery, working under extremely punishing circumstances.
California has a significant wall. That’s why the problem is in Texas.
That half RINO might have gotten himself primaried with the handling of the Deep Freeze last year.
