The Biden administration sued Texas last week over recent legislation signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing that grants local law enforcement the authority to arrest migrants and allow judges to order deportations. The administration argues that the law goes against constitutional mandates granting the federal government authority over border enforcement.

  • The best part is from my understanding their new law allows cops to arrest anyone out walking their dog without ID as a possible ‘illegal’ until their family or the cops can break into their houses, shoot the dog, and then maybe find their birth certificate or passport.

    That’s right, the same people who freaked out about private companies checking vaccines cards during a pandemic are now raving about how the courts are blocking them from arresting anyone who leaves their house without government permission. But of course, the leopards will know to only eat the brown peoples faces.

    May I present the party of ‘small government’ ladies, gentlemen, and others, the party of small government.

  • On Thursday, Abbott was subject to widespread criticism when asked where the line was for him in terms of border enforcement mechanisms he suggested the only reason Texas is not shooting migrants crossing the border “is because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”

    uhhh what?

  • So, arrest them?

    It is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 111 forcibly to assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with Federal law enforcement officers, including Secret Service agents, in the performance of their duties.

    Eventually Texas will run out of national guardsmen willing to commit felonies

    The seizure followed Governor Greg Abbott signing an emergency order granting the state guard “full control” of the park, over the objections of local officials.

    According to two U.S. officials who spoke to CBS News, the Texas National Guard is now barring federal U.S. Border Patrol from entering the park, which runs along the bank of the Rio Grande.

    Last year, the state government deployed controversial river barriers down a 1,000-foot stretch of a portion of the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass.

    The Biden administration sued Texas last week over recent legislation signed by Abbott that grants local law enforcement the authority to arrest migrants and allow judges to order deportations.

    In a video posted on Facebook, Eagle Pass Mayor Ronaldo Salinas said that he received a phone call on Thursday morning from Texas DPS informing him that via an order from Abbott “they are taking full control, custody, of Shelby Park.” The mayor filmed a blockade that had been erected at one of the entrances to the area.

    Shooting unarmed migrants is, of course, highly illegal, and the governor’s comments were seen as a reaffirmation of the brutality with which Texas state officials regard asylum seekers.
