"Republican Push to Federalize Texas National Guard Amid Border Standoff"

Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, are rallying behind Texas Governor Greg Abbott's legal standoff with the federal government over border security, intensifying concerns about a constitutional crisis. Abbott has declared Texas under an "invasion" and is using concertina wire to prevent federal agents from accessing a 47-acre area in Eagle Pass. While some legal scholars and Democrats have condemned Abbott's actions, many Republicans across the country are supporting his defiance of the federal government and calling for other states to deploy their national guards to Texas.
