"Texas Border Battle: White House Dodges Democratic Calls as Gov. Abbott Pushes Back"

The White House has not confirmed whether President Biden has considered federalizing the Texas National Guard amid the clash with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over border security. Abbott has utilized the Texas National Guard to impede U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents from accessing certain areas along the U.S.-Mexico border. Calls for federalization have come from Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro, who accused Abbott of obstructing and creating chaos at the border. Abbott has accused the Biden administration of failing to enforce immigration laws and has engaged in legal battles over border control measures.
