"Texas Governor Empowers Soldiers to Challenge Federal Authority at Border"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has invoked the "supreme law of the land" to give soldiers power over President Joe Biden on immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, citing the state's "right to self-defense." This move comes amid legal battles with the Justice Department over deterrent tactics to stop the surge of migrants crossing into the U.S. through the southern border. Abbott's actions have sparked calls for Texas to declare independence from the United States, and he has criticized Biden for failing to protect against invasion. Biden, in turn, faces criticism from Republican lawmakers over the immigration crisis, as he seeks bipartisan efforts to address the issue.
