Escalating tensions in Eagle Pass, Texas, where the Texas National Guard has taken unprecedented action by seizing control of Shelby Park and denying U.S. Border Patrol agents entry.

With a record 2.5 million border crossings in 2023, Texas stands firm in its efforts to manage the crisis, despite federal criticism.
