 the border fight is getting bigger and here are/is some interesting developments i suspect;


President Joe Biden has faced pressure from members of his own party to take control of the Texas National Guard that Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed to his state’s southern border. Were Biden to do so, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation, it would be a major escalation in the conflict between the federal government and the Texas government.

Democratic Texas Reps. Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar urged Biden on Wednesday to seize control of the state’s National Guard as the Texas state government refuses to back down from its southern border operation. While it’s possible for Biden to do so, there are limits to what the president can do, experts in military law told the DCNF. 

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities can take down concertina wire that Texas has placed along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter illegal crossings. The state has continued to install more wire in Eagle Pass, Texas, at Shelby Park, which it took control of earlier this month.

The Biden Administration has been asking Texas to relinquish Shelby Park, but the state has refused to stand down.

The issue with Biden taking control of the National Guard troops that Abbott has deployed is that it would present a possible violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, which bars the use of the military for civil law enforcement duties, defense attorney Davis Younts told the DCNF..........more........
