Texas officials will not let federal officials into a park at the U.S.-Mexico border, the state attorney general said on Jan. 26.

Texas Military Department officers secured Shelby Park in Eagle Pass to help stem the surge in illegal immigration. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) then urged officers to halt their activities, which included erecting razor wire to deter illegal immigrants.
