"Border Crisis: Democrats Push for Federal Control as Texas and Feds Clash"

After Texas Governor Greg Abbott deployed National Guard troops to restrict access to Shelby Park, Democrats are urging the Biden administration to federalize the Texas National Guard in order to restore Border Patrol agents' access to the area. The federal government has sent a cease and desist letter to Texas officials, but they have refused to comply. While federalizing the National Guard is an option, it is considered a last resort due to the political and legal implications. The Biden administration has already filed lawsuits over Abbott's border policies and may continue to pursue litigation before taking further action.
