NEW THREAD : TEXAS BORDER CRISIS 🇺🇸 🚨
The governor of Texas rejected Biden's orders and the court's decision to remove the border wires between the American south and Mexico due to illegal immigration, and says he is prepared for the most dangerous possibilities, which is "confrontation."
In recent hours, other states have joined in support of Texas

Texas Governor Greg Abbott
In 2021, he launched an operation called “One Star.”
Its goal is to monitor the southern border between Texas and Mexico, and combat illegal immigration crimes such as human smuggling or drug smuggling.
This operation is led by the Texas National Guard.
It is a military force subject to the control of the state - all states in America have a private national guard derived from the militias that existed before the formation of the United States of America -
This means that the process was proceeding under the total supervision of the state, away from the government
Operation "One Star" was carried out in stages
It has even reached an advanced stage regarding placing an iron fence and barbed wire along the border, which clearly prevents any possibility of entering the United States illegally.
President Biden did not like these words.
Because his declared policies relate to opening the borders to those crossing from neighboring countries, and facilitating the implementation of this matter gives him some support from the people, especially with the elections approaching.
So he turned to the Supreme Court to put an end to Texas
In January 2024, specifically last Monday
The court ruled against Texas, by a vote of 5 to 4
It allowed US Border Patrol forces to cut the barbed wire installed by the Texas National Guard
Texas Governor Greg Abbott opposed the ruling, refused to implement it, and ordered the National Guard to intensify procedures for installing barbed wire.
Additional wires covered almost the entire Rio Grande
The Governor of Texas appeared in a strong meeting with American journalist Tucker Carlson, and confirmed that the state will continue to place border wires and barriers
He waved the deployment of forces and his readiness for anything that might happen!
A number of state governors in America supported the governor of Texas, and said that they were ready to transfer their National Guard forces to Texas!
One of the most prominent of these is the Governor of Oklahoma State, Kevin Stitt, who has now begun compiling the numbers of soldiers he will send from his National Guard!
The media reported that there was a “deadline” that Biden granted to the state of Texas to remove the wires, or that he would send Border Patrol forces to remove them themselves.
But the danger is that these wires are protected by the National Guard, and this makes the possibility of an armed conflict breaking out between the arms of the American government a possibility!
