Texas Installing Even More Razor Wire Fencing, Biden Administration Cutting It

The Texas National Guard seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, the site of massive illegal crossings, and restricted the Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the feds “perpetuate illegal crossings.” This is what triggered the White House to spread its disinformation campaign about three illegals who drowned because the National Guard wouldn't let the Border Patrol in to save them. (That was debunked — the mother and her two children had been dead for an hour before the Border Patrol was even notified.) CBS News and MSNBC both ran with the White House's story. The Biden administration used the tragedy to threaten Texas with action if the National Guard didn't stop blocking the Border Patrol.

Last fall, the Biden administration sent feds to cut razor wire fencing that Texas had put up on the border. In October, a federal judge ruled with Texas and banned Biden from cutting the razor wire. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was defiant: Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX: “Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings. Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire.” -- Not only did Texas defy the Biden admin’s deadline to open Shelby Park to the feds — right now it is installing even more razor wire and fencing.
