This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is doubling down. Laura Barrón-López discussed the dispute with Stephen Vladeck.

    The troops are already there – the President can federalize the Texas National Guard and give us a look a what a modern-day Little Rock High School looks like. Garland should be seeking an arrest warrant against Abbott for insurrection, as well.

      Garland wouldn’t even look into Jan 6th until being shamed into it. God I wish we had a super hardcore attorney general right now.
