Donald Trump threw his support behind Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, R, amidst the governor's ongoing dispute with the White House, and he encouraged other states to use their National Guards to help Texas fight off an "invasion."
In Truth Social posts, the former president accused President Joe Biden of "fighting to tie the hands" of Abbott on Thursday.
This follows the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Biden administration's emergency request to remove razor wire border barriers in Eagle Pass, Texas, installed at the request of the governor. Border Patrol said the razor wire fencing kept them from reaching migrants and increased the danger level.
