Former President Donald Trump sounded the alarm on Truth Social, issuing a chilling warning about the looming threat of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. He painted a grim picture of the current state of the U.S.-Mexico border, declaring it a “catastrophe waiting to happen” and boldly stating that it is now the “worst border in the history of the world.”

Trump expressed deep concern, claiming that terrorists are infiltrating the country unabated, emphasizing an alarming 100% certainty of major terror attacks. His solution: an emphatic call to “CLOSE THE BORDER!”

Eagle Pass, Texas, took center stage in an intensifying clash between the Lone Star State and federal authorities over the handling of the migrant crisis and the delineation of jurisdiction along the border. The tension reached a boiling point on January 10 when Texas authorities effectively barred Border Patrol agents from a critical 2.5-mile stretch in Eagle Pass, a hotspot for increased migrant crossings.

The area, including the now fortified Shelby Park along the Rio Grande, was sealed off with gates and razor wire, obstructing Border Patrol operations. The situation took a tragic turn on January 12 when two children and a mother drowned in a nearby section of the Rio Grande, prompting a blame game between Texas and federal officials.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security set a January 17 deadline for Texas to lift its blockade on Eagle Pass, threatening to escalate the matter to the Department of Justice if the state failed to comply. Texas, defiant in response, through the office of Attorney

General Ken Paxton, declared they would “not surrender.” The Supreme Court entered the fray with a 5-4 vote allowing Border Patrol agents to dismantle razor wire set up by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, as reported by CNN.

Governor Abbott, in a fiery retort, accused President Joe Biden of squandering taxpayer dollars on dismantling Texas’s border security infrastructure. He argued that Biden’s policies have diverted illegal immigrants from the 28 legal entry points to the perilous waters of the Rio Grande, away from safer bridges. In a show of solidarity, 25 Republican governors penned a letter backing Texas in its border control efforts, criticizing the Biden administration for neglecting its constitutional duties.
