The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is doubling down. Laura Barrón-López discussed the dispute with Stephen Vladeck.

      In Minneapolis they burned a police precinct to the ground and that thing still hasn’t been rebuilt to this day. Resistance is possible.
