Texas will build an operations base for up to 1,800 National Guard members in Eagle Pass, expanding the presence of soldiers in the border city where the state has clashed with the Biden administration over immigration enforcement, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday.
The 80-acre property along the Rio Grande will open a short distance from Shelby Park, the riverfront area where Texas National Guard members have installed miles of razor wire and began denying access to U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Does anyone know the provenance of the land? The best I’ve been able to find is generic stuff along these lines.
The 3rd Amendment would be a stretch but still plausible if eminent domain were used to acquire the land used to quarter these soldiers.
If you think they care about laws you aren’t paying attention.
The closest to a 3A case I know of was when a guy had his house used as a base for a hostage situation and the officers trashed the place. It was thrown out if I recall correctly.
