Eagle Pass, Texas, one of the most popular crossing points for illegal aliens coming through Mexico into the US, has just been taken over by Texas.

Here's a typical night of illegal crossing at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass:

Federal border agents, who are simply processing immigrants and letting them into the country, have been removed and the Texas National Guard is about to start turning illegal migrants away.

Here's Bill Melugin's report on X from last night:

The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds "perpetuate illegal crossings". This is the area where Border Patrol has been cutting TX razor wire. Razor wire and fences are now deployed to block the area off from the public and federal government. Attached video is from our crew on the ground this morning as they began blocking it off. You can expect DOJ to sue Texas over this. Texas Military Department statement:

"The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021. The current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area."

Guys, it's finally happening. A Republican governor is ACTUALLY doing what's right for the country and standing up to Biden.

Patriots are in control!

Here is more of Megulin's reporting on Twitter:

NEW: The Border Patrol union confirms to me that agents are being blocked by Texas soldiers, and the union is praising Abbott for seizing control.

@BPUnion statement: "Governor Abbott is not harming Border Patrol operations, he is enhancing them. His seizing control of Shelby Park allows our agents to deploy to troubled spots that experience high numbers of gotaways. Governor Abbott's actions should be seen as a force multiplier."

Yeah, for now, Border Patrol is playing it cool. But in reality, Abbott is doing what the Feds didn't have the guts to do: Protect the border of the United States of America.

Elon Musk is a fan of this move:

Here is Governor Abbott's statement:

From CBS News:

After seizing control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas National Guard units deployed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott have prevented Border Patrol agents from entering the area, the federal officials said. Border Patrol has used the park in recent weeks to hold migrants in an outdoor staging area before they are transported for further processing, including last month, when illegal crossings soared to record levels.

Earlier Thursday, Texas state officials prevented Border Patrol boats from patrolling that area, one of the officials added, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

"They are denying entry to Border Patrol agents to conduct our duties," the official said, noting they are not sure "what authority (Texas officials) have over the federal government."

Oh yeah, you can see a legal battle shaping up.

Overnight, the Biden admin filed suit against Texas, confirming armed National Guardsmen are keeping the feds away from Eagle Pass:

The question is, does Biden have the legal right to tear down this country's borders over the wishes of the American people and the authority of Texas to protect their own borders from foreign invaders?

This should be an easy answer, but I see a major battle ahead.

Fight the good fight, Texas!
