Boom! 💥

We need more boldness like this, but I fear the current crop of state officials in NM, AZ, and CA are too stupid, too anti-American, too pro-illegal alien.

Look, this has been an invasion, aided and abetted by the Biden junta and Democrats.



Texas National Guard soldiers now have the authority to make immigration arrests under a new agreement between the Lone Star State and the Trump administration.

GOP Gov. Greg Abbott signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Customs and Border Protection Protection (CBP) acting commissioner Pete Flores that deputizes Texas National Guard personnel to make immigration arrests within the state, according to a copy of the agreement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. The MOU will allow potentially thousands more law enforcement officials to help carry out the Trump administration immigration enforcement mission within the largest border state in the country.

Under the authority granted by the MOU, Texas National Guard soldiers may investigate and arrest foreign nationals for immigration violations in the same manner as a CBP official. Soldiers are also permitted to transport foreign nationals in a similar manner to a CBP official, which includes transportation for detention or for deportation.

However, this authority may be performed “only under the supervision and direction” of a CBP official, according to the agreement.

The MOU, which was signed on Jan. 31, is effective immediately. A spokesperson for CBP did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

“In an agreement I signed between Texas and Trump’s Customs and Border Protection, the Texas National Guard is granted the power of immigration officials to make immigration arrests,” Abbott said on social media. “This boosts man power for border security.”The Trump administration has made other moves to bolster immigration enforcement along the border and in the interior of the country.

The agreement follows a directive handed down by the Trump administration in January that grants members of numerous federal agencies the authority of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Agents working within the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons have arresting authority similar to ICE agents, according to the directive.

I hope they are armed for self-protection with live rounds, not the "support" role, the Guardsmen from Texas and across the country have been in, so far. Some of the people at the border are dangerous. I am sure that part, will be handled by specific units, with specific orders and control.
