Astonishing footage out of Eagle Pass, Texas, shows members of the Texas Highway Patrol and Texas National Guard arresting and detaining illegal immigrants crossing razor wire barriers into the state.
Video shot Friday at the US-Mexico border shows several migrants in custody as Texas law enforcement agents patrol the area.
The new tough border security measures are part of an executive order enacted last month by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas), which gives Texas law enforcement agents the authority arrest illegal immigrants.
NewsNation’s Ali Bradley reporting from the area explained Texas troopers have indicated they “are prepared and ready to be arrested if it comes to that.”
The videos come as the Biden administration has sued the state to block the law, and demanded access to the area surrounding Shelby Park where illegals have been entering the US undeterred, encountering Biden Border Patrol agents who catch then release them into the country.
The situation escalated when three migrants were reportedly found dead on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande River. The U.S. Justice Department claimed Texas law enforcement hindered their access to Shelby Park, preventing them from conducting a rescue.
Texas has thus far refused to grant Border Patrol agents access to the area which they commandeered last week, setting off a showdown between the state and federal government.
“Because the facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court,” stated a letter Wednesday from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should stop wasting scarce time and resources suing Texas, and start enforcing the immigration laws Congress already has on the books.”
