Deep dives

Standoff at Texas border with Mexico

Governor Greg Abbott continues to reinforce the border with razor wire and barriers as 25 Republican governors express their support for Texas. Despite the Biden administration's demand for Texas National Guard to give Border Patrol access to Shelby Park, the park remains under Texas authorities' control, resulting in a standoff confined to the political sphere. Additional media attention and potential deployment of national guards by other Republican governors adds to the tension.
