Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorizes his national guard troops to start ARRESTING migrants at the border on state charges - while city says border agents are releasing infected migrants to hotels when they are captured by cops
2021-07-29
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday gave the Texas National Guard members state arrest authority for migrants at the border

  • He said the order is another attempt to 'secure the rule of law at our southern border' with 'more manpower'

  • La Joya Police said a migrant family was 'apprehended by Border Patrol days prior and were released because they were sick with Covid-19'

  • This report and others caused a county judge to demand Biden stop allowing federal agencies to release COVID-infected migrant into Texas communities

#4  I believe the distinction here is when the feds use troops, the troops can't make an arrest. They can detain for federal marshals to pick up making the formal arrest. In this case, the governor is deputizing the troops to actually make an arrest.

#2  The Feds are going to terminate this effort via legal ruling or Federalization of forces. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. We could have a George Wallace - University of Alabama moment coming soon.

I believe there is a name for a very unpleasant situation which pits state forces and law enforcement against Federal forces. This could be the tipping point.

The seemingly overnight transition of our military into a WOKE tool of the administration may have had a specific purpose.
