Texas Seizes Control of Eagle Pass Park to Block Border Patrol in Anti-Illegal Immigration Efforts

The Texas National Guard has taken control of a park at the U.S. southern border, blocking Border Patrol from entering as part of efforts to curb illegal immigration, leading to increased tensions between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the federal government. This move is part of Abbott's Operation Lone Star, which includes setting up barriers in the Rio Grande River. The Biden administration has sued Texas over anti-illegal immigration laws, while Texas has sued the administration for cutting razor wire set up to stop illegal crossings. The state has also upset "sanctuary" cities by busing migrants to relieve overwhelmed border communities, and has sent over 100,000 migrants to those cities.
