#1 This is headed to a showdown between Texas and the Feds. Seems I remember from history that South Carolina similarly seized some Federal property , um, back in 1861...trying to remember how that turned out.

Possible turbulence ahead. Please return to your seats and ensure your seatbelts are securely fastened.

#5 "Michael Perry, a spokesperson for the Texas Military Department, which oversees the state National Guard, said the actions taken by the state were designed to prevent illegal crossings by migrants.

"The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021," Perry said in a statement. "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."

In a statement Friday regarding the events in Eagle Pass, White House spokesperson Angelo Fernández Hernández said Texas was seeking to "politicize the border."

"Governor Abbott continues his extreme political stunts that not only seek to demonize and dehumanize people, but that also make it harder and more dangerous for Border Patrol to ~~do their jobs~~ (import millions of Illegal Aliens-FIFY)," Fernández Hernández said."

#6 OK, here goes:
(1) Shely Park is a city park, not federal.
(2)ICE was running a 'pass thru' point there for entrants. The guard just plugged the hole.
I guess you guys will have to shift the line to somewhere else while everyone's watching.

#7 extreme political stunts

Condemning your three hour tour
Of the Capitol, Congress makes war
For Democracy, saving
The village by slaving,
Importing more millions of poor.
