"Border State Tensions: Texas Immigration Law Sparks Clash with Biden Administration and Mexican President"

The Biden administration and Texas are at odds over a new immigration law that allows law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants. The White House criticized the law as "extreme" and argued it would make communities in Texas less safe. Texas Governor Greg Abbott defended the law, stating it would better protect Texans from Biden's open border policies. The tension between Texas and the administration extends to legal battles over the deployment of buoys in the Rio Grande and the removal of razor wire at the southern border. The Biden administration has also faced criticism from Arizona's Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs for a lack of action in securing the border. The tension comes amid a surge in migration at the border, with record-high migrant encounters reported. The administration is seeking additional funding and reform from Congress to address the situation.
