What’s Happening?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Trump <\/strong>testifies briefly<\/strong><\/a> in defamation trial against him<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Biden <\/strong>administration warned Iran<\/strong><\/a> before ISIS attack<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Influential <\/strong>Senate moderate<\/strong><\/a> refuses to back Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top Republican governors from across the U.S. voiced their support for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a> as he defies President Biden in an effort to stem the flow of illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border as Democrats demand Biden federalize the Texas national guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abbott is fighting multiple legal battles with the Biden administration, which has threatened legal action over Texas\u2019 seizure of Shelby Park near Eagle Pass. Texas has also filed lawsuits against the administration, which cut razor wire set up by the state on the Rio Grande to prevent migrants from illegally crossing into Texas, as well as the establishment of buoys on the river.<\/p>\n

“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,” Abbott said<\/a>. “President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, called on Biden to federalize the National Guard<\/a> on Tuesday after it became clear Abbott wasn’t backing down. When asked whether the White House was considering this, Jack Kirby said, “We talked about this the other day. I don’t have any decisions to speak to for the president. I don’t have anything on that.”<\/p>\n

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, North Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt have all declared that they stand with Texas and vowed to aid them in various ways.<\/p>\n
