Texas Seizes Control Of Border City Park, Preventing U.S. Border Patrol from Trafficking Illegal Immigrants
January 12th, 2024Via: ZeroHedge:
In its latest assertion of sovereignty and responsibility for securing its border with Mexico, the once and future Republic of Texas has seized control of a 47-acre park in the city of Eagle Pass, which has been a major avenue of illegal immigration. What’s more, the Texans are barring US Border Patrol agents and watercraft from the property, which they’ve used as a staging area for processing migrants.
“They are denying entry to Border Patrol agents to conduct our duties,” a federal official told CBS News, who wondered “what authority (Texas officials) have over the federal government.” Texans are increasingly wondering about the opposite question.
Via an emergency declaration from Governor Greg Abbott, Shelby Park, which abuts the Rio Grande, is now controlled by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and National Guard units. Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas, Jr told reporters he learned about the move just shortly before it happened, via a phone call from a DPS official who informed him the state was taking “full control” of the recreational park “indefinitely.”
THIS, is big. I don’t expect US/UK air strikes on Texas. But man, what is going to happen?

At what point, does a Mayor/Governor order the arrest for embezzlement of funds? Taxes are collected, then stolen/misappropriated. If a City Council voted in grift, they could be arrested, no? Likewise, when a sheriff sees someone driving 115 MPH, they don’t call a government official and ask for permission to arrest. Watching Texas…
Gov.Abbott plans to build 3 bridges connecting Texas to Mexico in order to increase commerce, making it easier to sell Texas products in Mexico, he says. Is this a proposed bridge site?
This trend of absolute command from the top, with no input from the locals, has gotten out of hand. What used to be eminent domain is now legal theft.
