==Eagle Pass, Texas==
 +
In December 2023, over 300,000 migrant encounters were recorded by the US Border Patrol, not counting “gotaways.”
 +
 +
The Texas state government tried to ameliorate the immediate, local impact by transporting approximately 100,000 migrants to other states of their choice in most cases. In particular, Texas sent thousands of migrants at taxpayer expense to self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities” such as [[New York City]], [[Washington, DC]], [[Los Angeles]], and [[Chicago]].
 +
 +
Texas also tried to install impediments to migrant passage into the state and country, such as floating buoys in the middle of the river and shipping containers arranged along the banks of the [[Rio Grande River]] that separates the US from Mexico. In 2023, Texas installed razor wire on top of the shipping containers and at ground level to prevent migrants from climbing over the barriers. The measures had some success in limiting entry.
 +
 +
The floating buoys were deemed hazardous, so they were mostly removed. The wire, however, remained. The [[Biden regime]] ordered the Border Patrol to remove the wire, and the work was begun in 2023. Texas objected and blocked Border Patrol from removing the wire by obtaining an injunction from a Federal court. That ruling was appealed, but the Federal appellate court affirmed it.
 +
 +
The Biden regime then made an expedited appeal to the [[United States Supreme Court]], which ruled that the Border Patrol could continue cutting the wire. Note that the Supreme Court ruled very narrowly: Border Patrol can still cut the razor wire that Texas installs. They did not rule that Texas is prohibited from installing the wire.
 +
 +
Texas governor [[Greg Abbott]] ordered the Texas National Guard to re-install razor wire on the border. They also built a wire fence around Shelby Park, in Eagle Pass, Texas, a relatively small patch of land that the Biden regime used as a gathering ground for migrant processing.
 +
 +
Gov. Abbott filed a suit to enjoin the federal government from obstructing Texas's efforts to secure the border. Abbott uses the [[US Constitution]] to buttress his claim:
 +
*First, Abbott relies on Article IV, Section 4 to describe the Federal government's duty: ''“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and '''shall protect each of them against Invasion'''…”'' He describes the failure of the Federal government to protect the states.
 +
 +
*Abbott then articulates the recourse taken by Texas in Article 10, Section 10, Clause 3: ''“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress,… engage in War, '''unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay'''.”''
 +
 +
Abbott argues that the state of Texas, in light of the fact that the Federal government has failed in its duty to protect the states, has the right to enforce the laws to control immigration into the United States.
