Texas officials seized 47 acres bordering the Rio Grande River and forced the U.S. Border Patrol out of the area so the Texas National Guard could protect their state.
Since this move occurred, the Biden regime has responded and asked the US Supreme Court to intervene.
The following video on X shows just how tough the situation is in Eagle Pass, Texas
The Texas National Guard uses riot shields to protect themselves from illegal immigrants trying to cross the border through a razor wire barrier. Some succeed in penetrating while posing a danger to the guards. One of them was almost hit in the head by a stone thrown by an illegal person.
The newly obtained video was taken last month before the standoff between Texas and the federal government, and it shows you just how bad the border situation had been up to that point.

Eagle Pass has seen some of the worst illegal mass crossings between outposts along the southern border.
In November last year, TGP reported that tactical marine units were deployed to rescue women and children who were drowning in the Rio Grande River.

The Rio Grande has been the site of millions of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States
Thanks to the Biden regime, the US Border Patrol apprehended 3.2 million illegal aliens in fiscal year 2023 (October 1 to September 30).
Since January 2021, nearly 11 million illegal immigrants have entered the country, a number roughly the population of 41 states.
Let that sink in.
