Additional law enforcement resources are standing by and ready to deploy as requested by Texas state officials.
”States have every right to defend their sovereignty and we are pleased to increase our support to Texas as the Lone Star State works to stop the invasion across the border,”said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Our reinforcements will help Texas to add additional barriers, including razor wire along the border.
