Texas Military Seizes City-Owned Border Park — Ejects Federal Agents

[Tall Timbers]

The Texas Military Department seized a city-owned golf course located in the busiest border crossing point along the Rio Grande. The Texas National Guard then ejected U.S. Border Patrol agents from the park and took total control of this section of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Border Patrol officials told Breitbart Texas that Texas National Guard units quickly moved into Shelby Park in Eagle Pass on Thursday. The guardsmen erected barriers around the park and instructed Border Patrol agents to leave the area.

“This move only serves to raise tensions at the ground level between the State and Border Patrol agents who are bound by policy set in Washington D.C.,” the official stated. If the number of crossings we saw in December return, we will be the first ones the State calls to deal with another humanitarian crisis of that magnitude.”

The DC official uses inflammatory references to imply that policy authority should bind decisions [sic only bad guys would raise tensions re: a very bad DC policy]. He drenches that virtue signalling in a syrupy lie that Texas, or any other state could call on DC to help with a humanitarian crisis. Clever.
