Texas Refuses Border Patrol Access, Demands Proof of Federal Ownership

Texas doubling down on protecting its border

Texas stands firm in its efforts to protect the state's border, with a recent showdown taking place at a park in Eagle Pass. The Texas government is refusing to comply with the Biden administration's demands to allow Border Patrol back onto a specific piece of property, leading to an exchange of letters between Texas Attorney General Paxton and the federal government.

In a letter directed to the Biden administration, Paxton outlined his demands. He requested that the federal government provide evidence, by February 15th, supporting its claim of ownership over the disputed land through a previous easement. According to Paxton, if the Biden administration can prove its rights to the property, Texas will allow federal agents back in. Until then, Texas remains resolute in standing its ground.
