"Texas Border Standoff: Crisis, Secession, and Self-Defense"

A clash over miles of razor wire on the Texas border has escalated into a political and potential constitutional crisis, with Texas Governor Greg Abbott arguing that Texas has the right to defend itself from an "invasion" and claiming that this authority supersedes federal statutes. The Supreme Court granted the Justice Department's request to remove the state-installed wire, leading to defiance from Abbott and support from Republican governors and former President Donald Trump. The conflict highlights the rift between state and federal authorities on immigration enforcement, with potential legal and political implications. Additionally, the Pentagon has tested a new long-range precision bomb for Ukraine, and President Biden has traveled to Michigan to rally support.
