"Operation Lone Star: Eagle Pass Residents Speak Out on Property Seizures and Increased Troop Presence"

Residents in Eagle Pass, Texas, are facing a takeover by police and National Guard troops as the migrant border crisis overwhelms the city, with properties seized and public spaces under state control. The influx of migrants has led to a contentious situation for locals, impacting businesses, public events, and daily life. While some residents support the state's actions, others feel their rights and livelihoods are being infringed upon, leading to a polarized political climate and protests. Despite a decrease in migrant crossings in January, the situation remains complex, with efforts from both U.S. and Mexican authorities to address the issue.
