Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick have taken a strong stance against the Biden administration's demands regarding border security measures. Paxton has refused to surrender Shelby Park in Eagle Pass and grant Border Patrol full access, which the federal government sought to turn into an 'unlawful port of entry.' The Texas National Guard has sealed off the park with razor wire, fencing, and soldiers, and the state is maintaining its stance on border security. Paxton has also made counter-demands, including the provision of official plat maps and deeds by February 15. Additionally, Paxton accuses the Biden administration of aiding cartels by not securing the southern border effectively, suggesting Texas is making up for federal shortcomings in border security. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has warned President Biden with the phrase 'Don't mess with Texas,' reinforcing the state's opposition. Paxton has also released a press statement doubling down on the refusal of surrendering border and security areas to the Biden administration.
