"Republican Governors Rally Behind Texas in Border Control Battle"

Texas has rejected the Biden administration's demand for "full access" to the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass, with the Department of Homeland Security seeking access to the area currently controlled by Texas. The standoff includes disputes over property rights and the state's efforts to protect its southern border. The Supreme Court has sided with the administration in allowing agents to keep cutting border wire set up by Texas, and there are ongoing legal feuds over Texas law allowing state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants. Texas Governor Abbott has declared the state's right to "self-defense" against what he calls a federal inaction about a migrant "invasion," while the Biden administration insists that enforcement of immigration law is a federal responsibility.
