"Texas Governor Abbott Stands Firm at Border Amid Escalating Migrant Tactics Standoff"

Gov. Greg Abbott defends Texas' enforcement at the border, claiming the Biden administration has failed to enforce immigration law, as he doubles down on efforts to deter illegal immigration in Eagle Pass. Flanked by visiting Republican governors, Abbott railed against President Biden's handling of the southern border and recommitted to defending the state from an "invasion" of migrants, while facing an escalating legal battle with the federal government over control of part of the Texas-Mexico border. Republican governors have rallied behind Abbott's methods, while an escalating border standoff continues between Texas and the federal government.
