DHS threatens to take 'appropriate action' against Texas over border access:
The dispute began last week when Texas allegedly blocked access to a park.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/dhs-threatens-action-texas-border-access/story
Quick Glance: DHS Warns Texas Over Border Access
- The Department of Homeland Security has threatened Texas, stating that the state is acting unconstitutionally by blocking Customs and Border Protection's access to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas.
- The Biden administration accused the Texas National Guard of preventing Border Patrol agents from accessing a 2.5-mile stretch of the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, including Shelby Park.
- If Texas continues to block Border Patrol access to the border, the Justice Department will take 'appropriate action' and consider all other available options to restore access.
- Texas has demonstrated that it will not allow Border Patrol access to the border, even in urgent circumstances, to conduct law enforcement and emergency response activities.
