NEW: The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds “perpetuate illegal crossings”.

This is the area where Border Patrol has been cutting TX razor wire. Razor wire and fences are now deployed to block the area off from the public and federal government. Attached video is from our crew on the ground this morning as they began blocking it off.

You can expect DOJ to sue Texas over this.
Texas Military Department statement:

“The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021. The current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area.”

I reached out to CBP/Border Patrol in the sector for comment hours ago - no response yet.

His bonafidas are good enough for me to give a listen to; your background knowledge of him, and opinion, may of course, vary.

I'll believe it when I see it (from a source other than twitter). "Texas Military Dept."???

I stand corrected on the Texas Military Dept., we need an Iowa Military Dept.

I've been expecting a nose to nose confrontation between the NG troops on the border and Biden deployed FED troops since the invasion started >>>>

with the continual DNC losses across the board and now looking at a couple of impeachments - wheels are coming off months ahead of the election >>>> Biden stupid enough to directly confront TX forces? - pull a Fort Sumpter insurrection gambit???

If I was of the correct age I would be heading to Texas to join their National Guard as they are now the front line of defense of our country. I hope young men from other States realize this and join the Texas NG.
interesting that age rules a person out, in your estimation. It occurs to me that the one untapped resource we actually have is people who've lived long enough to have nothing left to live for and nothing left to lose should the set their sights on actually doing something to improve the situation :hmm:

Texas should charge all the feds with insurrection/treason for not enforcing the laws of the land.

I have had this same thought.

It is not my estimation of age ruling a person in or out of the Guard. It is the Guards Rules. As for me when it comes to war I have no rules. Yes I still have skills.

I expect the Texas troops are better armed than Fed alphabet troops. Just arrest the alphabet troops.

Also expect a possible nose to nose confrontation between the Texas military and the Cartels!

Many in the Biden regime would love to see Texas forces massacred by Cartel forces - use that to scare the other governors (Desantis) and states into keeping silent and leaving the problem up to Biden’s incompetent hand!

Enough so, that they would circumvent this situation in a like manner?

Ya know, New York City mayor Eric Adams and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson both vilify Governor Abbott.

But Abbott is the only one who is taking meaningful steps to cut the number of illegals getting in to this country.

Instead of harassing Abbott, or trying to file suit against Texas for sending the buses, these mayors should be lobbying their own governors to send the New Yor and aillinois state National Guard to send troops to the southern border to help the Texas NG stop the invasion.

Slow the invasion and you can slow the buses heading up north.
