The Department of Homeland Security had directed the state to stop blocking the U.S. Border Patrol’s access to roughly 2½ miles of the U.S.-Mexico border

Texas is refusing to comply with a cease-and-desist letter from the Biden administration over actions by the state that have impeded U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing part of the border with Mexico.

In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton rejected the Biden administration’s request for the state to “cease and desist” its takeover of Shelby Park, an epicenter of southwest border illegal immigration in Eagle Pass.

“Because the facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court,” Paxton wrote.

    I’m not disagreeing that this is happening. You are off topic. You wished for war, war is horror, it will bring untold suffering and it will be awful. That’s it, that’s the whole point.

    Everything else will be at least as bad because it’s even more suffering, yes. Stop wishing for the acceleration of any part of this.

      Yeah war sucks. Guess what else sucks? America lol. You haven’t figured it out peacefully, so you’re going to have a civil war again. I’m not wishing anything, I’m stating a fact.
