It’s a Texas owned park. The Feds are claiming it for a processing area.
That’s where Texas appears to be staking their claim: it’s ours and you can’t take it under the Constitution.
Everything else is people on both sides dreaming up fantasy scenarios with little basis in what’s likely. Yes, Texas will continue to escalate, but they aren’t going to try to secede.
From the article:
"On Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton refused the federal government’s request for access to the border and demanded proof that the federal government has the authority to turn a Texas park into a port of entry. "
I know Texas is picking and choosing the framing, but the above is what the AG (corrupt as he may be) is saying. Because he needs to win a case.
This whole thing is political theater. Literally half a mile down the road from the park the wall is open and immigrants are able to freely cross. Immigrants who cross the border aren’t clueless or aimless either; the vast majority head straight to a DHS checkpoint to start the asylum process. This is because most people crossing are literally just trying to seek a better life by working the jobs Americans refuse to do for pay that’s higher than what they could earn in their home countries. Additionally, while reports of increased numbers of people crossing the border are true, so is the opposite. People are leaving at almost the same rate. It’s crazy how people don’t see that immigration is a made up issue.
Sedition is it?
Full blown treason at this point.
They’re trying to provoke a reaction that they can sell to their media-fueled-paranoid Christonationalists to drive them to the polls.

All politics is theater. If you can’t handle that, get off the stage.
