A strongly worded letter from the Department of Homeland Security to the State of Texas demands access to the U.S.-Mexico border on land seized by the State in Eagle Pass.
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) The Department of Homeland Security has threatened the state of Texas saying the state is acting unconstitutionally in blocking Customs and Border Protection s access to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, and if the state continues to do so, the Justice Department will take "appropriate action", according to a letter obtained by ABC News.
"Texas s actions are clearly unconstitutional and are actively disrupting the federal government s operations," DHS General Counsel Jonathan Meyer wrote to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. "We demand that Texas cease and desist its efforts to block Border Patrol s access in and around the Shelby Park area and remove all barriers to access in the Shelby Park area."
The Biden administration accused the Texas National Guard of blocking Border Patrol agents from accessing a 2.5-mile stretch of the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, including Shelby Park.
