"Texas Blocks Border Patrol Access, Prompts Federal Intervention"

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a court document alleging that the Texas National Guard and state troopers are obstructing U.S. Border Patrol agents from a 2.5-mile stretch of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, prompting a request to the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the ongoing clash between state and federal authorities. Texas has taken control of a park along the border, preventing federal agents from patrolling and erecting barriers to block access, leading to accusations of escalating measures to impede Border Patrol operations. The Biden administration has criticized Governor Greg Abbott's actions, while Texas defends its authority to control border access and blames the federal government's immigration policies for the situation.
