Quick Glance: Abbott Stands Firm on 'Invasion' Declaration After Supreme Court Setback
- Governor Greg Abbott accuses the federal government of breaking the agreement with the states after the Supreme Court ruled on Monday allowing the Border Patrol to remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border.
- The latest escalation in a legal and political standoff between Texas and the federal government, although Abbott has not announced any specific measures.
- Since then, the governor has systematically increased the border enforcement roles of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard, citing the constitutional authority for a state to defend itself against invasion.
- Although the Supreme Court this week allowed federal officials, namely the Border Patrol, to remove razor wire installed by Texas, that order did not affect other flashpoints in the uneasy relationship between feds and state agents.
