Since at least the summer of 2022 and the creation of Operation Lone Star, the state of Texas has flagrantly violated federal law, illegally installing razor wire and barring federal agents from accessing the border. This illegal abrogation of border authority recently played a part in the death of 3 migrants crossing the Rio Grande, as Texas ignored their distress and wouldn't allow Federal border agents to aid them.
Yesterday, January 23rd, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, ordered Texas to allow federal agents access. The Texas National Guard released a statement that they will continue to "hold the line" at Colby Park.
There are no heroes in this story, as we are all painfully aware of the abuses perpetrated by federal border control, and are under no illusions about what their authority means for migrants. However, Operation Lone Star and Texas' unilateral border policies are even MORE dangerous, even MORE outrageous than the existing federal policies, so this Supreme Court ruling marks a chance to scale back some of the most egregious human rights violations.
Seeing leftists choose Texas is crazy lol
What Texas is doing is disgusting and inhumane but ignoring the federal government along with other Republican-run states allows for interesting things to happen that could have positive consequences, such as the breakup of the US
The best possible outcome here is for Texas to be annexed by Mexico, it is a possibility but not inevitable
Does Mexico even want Texas back at this point?
