In reply to the discussion: Trump encourages all states to send their troops to Texas to help Greg Abbott [View all]sheshe2

U.S. Supreme Court says Texas cant block federal agents from the border
The high courts order effectively maintains long-running precedent that the federal government not individual states has authority to enforce border security.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the states border with Mexico, where Texas officials have deployed miles of concertina wire.
