NEW: Video from source in Eagle Pass shows Border Patrol cutting through razor wire placed by the state of TX to allow migrants to enter & be processed after crossing illegally. Texas DPS tells me this is the first time they know of this happening, and that it’s being... looked into for potential destruction of TX property. The federal government’s position is that once migrants are on U.S. soil, under U.S. law, they need to be processed, and cannot be repelled or turned away. Texas is taking a much different approach, and has been physically blocking migrants under orders from Governor Greg Abbott. TXDPS tells me the location this video was shot at is private property, and that they have permission from the owner to lay down razor wire and arrest migrants for criminal trespassing. This Border Patrol agent is likely just doing what he’s been told - but this will likely lead to more friction between TX & the Feds, who have drastically different approaches at the border.show more

CBP RESPONDS: A CBP official tells me a Border Patrol boat encountered a group of migrants with several small children, and that in order to quickly apprehend them and get them out of the heat, a BP agent cut the razor wire to access the area “consistent w/ federal law”. CBP STATEMENT 👇🏻

@TxDPS We need a new President.

@TxDPS DPS need to arrest those agents.

@TxDPS Texas needs to start charging federal agents with human trafficking.

@DogRightGirl @TxDPS It was because they’re female- I’d wonder what that officer knows about trafficking

@TxDPS @POTUS and Border Patrol should be charged with facilitating an invasion of America….

@TxDPS Legit shocked by this. It’s one thing to nullify or even enable; it’s NEXT-LEVEL to have *BORDER PATROL* **CUT THE FENCE.** I’m sure @SpeakerMcCarthy, @HouseGOP, @LeaderMcConnell, and @SenateGOP will… ignore it. #UniParty #Swamp #BurnItAllDown #AmericaFirst #Trump2024

@PorkArena @TxDPS Entering private property to assist with people breaking the law seems inappropriate and illegal. Since when can federal authorities trespass on private property absent a warrant.

@TxDPS Oh this is BS!!

@DineshDSouza @TxDPS Charge him with human trafficking and watch that immediately stop.
