### Texas National Guard Takes Bold Action to Secure Southern Border
In a decisive move to bolster border security, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has empowered the National Guard to take on a more active role in immigration enforcement.
This past week, under Title 8, 60 Texas National Guard soldiers were officially sworn in to assist the U.S. Border Patrol in apprehending individuals illegally crossing the southern border.
The announcement was made by El Paso Sector Interim Chief Walter N. Slosar, who emphasized the commitment of these men and women to defend the nation’s borders.
“The brave men and women of the National Guard raised their hands today and swore an oath to defend this nation’s borders,” said Slosar. “They now stand alongside our Border Patrol Agents to enforce U.S. immigration laws and secure the border.”
This development is part of the larger Operation Lone Star, which has seen nearly 5,000 Texas National Guard members actively participating in border protection efforts.
Their expanded mandate allows them to move beyond mere observation and support; now, they can engage in direct apprehension and detention of illegal migrants.
This comes at a time when immigration enforcement has become a hot-button issue, particularly in areas like Dallas, where local law enforcement has been reluctant to fully cooperate with state immigration policies.
Governor Abbott has been vocal in advocating for local police to uphold immigration enforcement, asserting that compliance with federal immigration laws is essential for the safety of Texas residents.
The collaboration between Texas National Guard and Border Patrol is seen as a necessary response to the ongoing crisis at the border, which has been characterized by surging numbers of illegal crossings and increased criminal activity.
With almost 1,500 National Guard troops supporting southern border operations nationwide, it is clear that the commitment to securing the border is stronger than ever.
While critics may question the approach, many Texans view the presence of the National Guard as a necessary measure to restore law and order and protect the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.
As this administration continues to take a firm stand on border security, it remains to be seen how these actions will affect not only immigration but also the overall safety and security of communities across Texas and beyond.
