"Texas Governor's Border Control: Seizing Public Parks to Combat Illegal Immigration"

TL;DR Summary
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken control of a public park in Eagle Pass on the U.S.-Mexico border to bolster immigration enforcement efforts, prompting backlash from the town's mayor. The move, part of the state's response to what Abbott's spokeswoman called President Biden's "reckless open border policies," involves deploying additional barriers and personnel to deter illegal immigration. The park had previously been at the center of controversy when the city declared it private for state troopers to arrest migrants, a decision that was later rescinded.
