Commentary 

There’s a standoff in Texas, and it’s not between cowboys this time. It’s between the Texas National Guard and federal border agents. All of this is occurring in the wake of a Supreme Court decision requiring the Texas National Guard to grant access to federal border agents deployed by the Biden administration to the border in order to take down razor wire erected by Texas to prevent the influx of undocumented immigrants.
