Texas Denies Federal Agents Access To Border Park At The Heart Of Razor Wire Standoff

Texas has rejected the federal government's request for access to a border park at the center of one of the ongoing disputes between the states and the Biden administration over immigration enforcement while the union representing the U.S. Border Patrol has said agents will not be pitted against state agents working to secure America's southern border.

Fox News reported that after the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling last week allowing federal border-patrol agents to cut down razor wire erected by the state around Shelby Park, an area near the Rio Grande River that sees heavy illegal alien traffic, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security requested in writing that it be given access to the park, with a response demanded by Friday.

Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton responded first by telling Fox News the state has no plans to comply, then with a letter formally rejecting the demand, citing the assessment that the federal government's latest letter "Abandons earlier factual assertions, asserts new ones, and supplies even less of a legal basis," the Western Journal reported.

"As I said before, this office will continue to defend Texas's efforts to protect its southern border against every effort by the Biden Administration to undermine the State's constitutional right of self-defense," Paxton told DHS attorney Jonathan Meyer.

The Journal added that the National Border Patrol Council, the official union of U.S. Border Patrol Agents, weighed in January 26 with a statement that federal and state border agents "Work together and respect each other's jobs," and the former were not about to start arresting the latter for following lawful orders.

"Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders will not be followed," the NBPC said.

"Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America."

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
