Texas arrests illegals and defies Biden command to stop blocking border patrol!
AUSTIN, Texas (PNN) - January 19, 2024 - Texas authorities have started arresting invaders who illegally enter the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) across the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas.
State law enforcement has occupied Shelby Park in the city and armed officers have blocked anyone from entering the space - including federal border patrol agents - leading to an escalating conflict.
Texas cops announced they had started to arrest illegal invaders who entered the park Wednesday, in what is thought to be a preview of Governor Greg Abbott’s new state law allowing cops to arrest and charge people suspected of entering the country illegally.
“Troopers are arresting illegal (invaders) for criminal trespass in Shelby Park in Eagle Pass,” Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez wrote on X.
“Troopers are enforcing criminal trespass on adult men and women. The State of Texas will maintain a proactive posture in curbing illegal border crossings between the ports of entry,” wrote Olivarez.
Figures of how many arrests had been made and whether arrested invaders had been handed over to federal authorities for processing were not immediately available Thursday.
Abbott’s bill making illegal invasion a state crime was passed in December but isn’t set to come into effect until March. It is also expected to be challenged in court by the illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden regime.
Department of Homeland Security officials have been fighting for access to Shelby Park in court, claiming Abbott’s measures are hindering their ability to patrol it and to provide emergency aid to illegal invaders in need.
“Because border patrol can no longer access or view this stretch of the border, Texas has effectively prevented border patrol from monitoring the border to determine whether (an illegal invader) requires the emergency aid they are legally allowed to render,” a prior motion states.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a strong rebuttal to federal filings demanding access to the park and asserting the state’s right to cordon off the area.
His office argued keeping the park area and its vicinity accessible imperiled illegal invaders who made the dangerous trek across the river, which has banks on the park.
“The loss of any human life in the Rio Grande is tragic - and preventable,” the filing states.
“That is one reason Governor Abbott ordered the installation of the concertina wire at issue in this case. As the district court found, following the submission of extensive evidence from all parties, ’the wire serves as a deterrent’ against those who seek to ford the river and instead routes them to safe, lawful ports of entry,” the filing states.
A judge will ultimately rule if Texas authorities can continue to keep up the fencing.
The Del Rio sector, which encompasses Eagle Pass, saw more than 81,000 illegal invaders hand themselves over to border officials in October and November.
The following month set a record for illegal invader encounters at the southern border, with at least 302,000 people attempting to illegally enter the FPSA.
