Texas is refusing the demands of the federal government to vacate the city property in Eagle Pass seized by Abbott last week. Instead they are doubling down and putting up more razor wire to keep the feds out of the area.
According to Chris Olivarez, the spokesperson with the Texas Department of Public Safety, they are arresting illegals for criminal trespass:
Under the authority of Gov. @GregAbbott_TX’s Border Disaster Declaration, @TxDPS Troopers are arresting illegal immigrants for criminal trespass at #ShelbyPark in Eagle Pass. Troopers are enforcing criminal trespass on single adult men & women. The State of #Texas will maintain a proactive posture in curbing illegal border crossings between the ports of entry. #OperationLoneStar
