Trump Says Texas Rightly Invoked ‘Invasion’ Clause Amid Standoff With Biden Over Border

Trump encouraged willing States to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of Illegals, and to remove them back across the border.

Former President Donald Trump responded to the conflict between officials in Texas and the federal Customs Border Patrol, saying that President Joe Biden is “unbelievable” in his actions regarding the border.

“Joe Biden has surrendered our border and is aiding and abetting a massive invasion of millions of illegal migrants into the United States,” President Trump said in a Jan. 25 post to Truth Social.

“Instead of fighting to protect our country from this onslaught, Biden is, unbelievably, fighting to tie the hands of Governor [Greg] Abbott and the state of Texas so that the invasion continues unchecked.

“In the face of this national security, public safety, and public health catastrophe, Texas has rightly invoked the invasion clause of the Constitution and must be given full support to repel the invasion.”

The former president’s comments came during a high-profile conflict between federal border protection agencies and the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard due to the use of razor wire along the Rio Grande River, separating Texas and Mexico.

This week, federal officials were granted permission to cut the razor wire by the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed with the Biden administration in an emergency appeal.

Though some legal experts have pointed out that the 5-4 judgment does not forbid Texas from installing the razor wire, it only permits federal officers to cut it.

The order from the Supreme Court was vague.

Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Chief Justice John Roberts cast affirmative votes. Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito were among the justices who cast dissenting votes.

The decision caused outrage by many, and Texas’s Gov. Greg Abbott has said that the order will not keep him from adding more of the contentious barrier along the border.

“We are adding more razor wire as we speak right now to make sure that we are doing even more to secure the border,” the Texas Republican said in a Jan. 25 interview with Bloomberg TV.
