Bill Melugin of Fox News is reporting having witnessed a Border Patrol agent “cutting through razor wire placed by the state of TX to allow migrants to enter & be processed after crossing illegally.”
Melugin reported the incident to Texas officials, who promised to investigate. He writes:
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 @GregAbbott_TX.
According to Melugin, the fence is on private property and Texas authorities had secured permission of the property owner to install the fence and arrest illegals crossing it. The incident, he says, will likely lead to “more friction between TX & the Feds, who have drastically different approaches at the border.”
“Drastically different” is putting it mildly. You can watch the video here.
