Border Dispute: Biden Administration Clashes with Texas Over Migrant Deaths

The Biden administration has ordered Texas to cease operations in Eagle Pass and allow Border Patrol access to the Rio Grande through a state-controlled city park after blaming the drowning deaths of three migrants on state officials. The cease-and-desist letter from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demands that the state stop blocking Border Patrol agents from entering Shelby Park, setting up a showdown between the state and federal governments over immigration enforcement. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has blamed the drownings on the Biden administration's immigration policies, while the Texas Military Department disputes the timeline of events and denies denying Border Patrol access to the park.
