"The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States," the Republican governor wrote in a one-page statement posted on the former Twitter on Jan. 24.
"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration," Mr. Abbott wrote.
" The governor's statement came as Texas continues to resist a U.S. Supreme Court order allowing the removal of razor wire fencing on a 2.5-mile stretch of Eagle Pass, Texas, that Texas authorities installed to prevent illegal migrants from entering the country.
Attorneys for Texas countered that the state was forced to erect the border barrier because the federal government has been unable to secure the border.
The state refuses to remove the razor wire and is installing more wire fencing.
The Texas National Guard is handing over those it apprehends to the Texas Department of Public Safety to be charged with trespassing under state law.
On Jan. 24, the Biden administration demanded that Texas give up control over the Shelby Park area in Eagle Pass that it is occupying in an effort to keep illegal migrants from entering the United States, The Washington Examiner reported.
