Less than a month after announcing he would be reinforcing the border along the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez sector with "triple-strand" razor wire, Texas governor Greg Abbott is now ordering the installation of additional razor wire at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass as part of the state´s Operation Lone Star.
The Texas National Guard took control earlier this year of the area along the Rio Grande River, which separates the U.S. from Mexico, after Abbott signed an emergency declaration to close the park citing the border crisis. The Texas National Guard also blocked U.S. Border Patrol agents from patrolling the area.
