"Biden Administration Clashes with Texas Over Border Access and Migrant Safety"

The Biden administration has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Texas, demanding that the state stop impeding U.S. Border Patrol access to a portion of the U.S.-Mexico border that Texas National Guard took over. The letter cited the unconstitutionality of Texas's actions and emphasized the conflict with federal law and the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. This comes after an incident involving the fatal drowning of a woman and two children in the Rio Grande, where Texas National Guard troops prevented U.S. Border Patrol from responding. The Biden administration and Texas officials are at odds over the handling of border access and immigration enforcement.
