Abbott sends Biden message on 'sovereign authority' as Texas National Guard reinforces border razor fencing

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday highlighted how Texas is reinforcing barriers in a key border crossing area and pledged to exercise its 'sovereign authority' — amid an ongoing months-long legal fight with the Biden administration over enforcement. Abbott posted an image of Texas National Guard soldiers reinforcing border barriers, including razor wire, in El Paso, Texas — an area that has seen a number of migrant surges in recent weeks.

Texas will exercise our sovereign authority to protect our southern border — and our nation — because President Biden refuses to enforce federal immigration laws.' Texas, as part of Operation Lone Star, has set up the razor wire and other barriers along the border in an effort to curb the historic amounts of illegal migration that have hit it since 2021. The wire has become a point of contention between Texas and the Biden administration.

Earlier this year, Texas seized Shelby Park, a key staging ground in Eagle Pass and continued reinforcing the razor wire and other barriers. The administration has since sued Texas over an anti-illegal immigration bill that would allow local police to arrest illegal immigrants and would allow judges to order them deported.
