Texas refuses to back down in standoff with feds, as 302K migrants cross US-Mexico border in Dec

Tensions between federal officials and Texas authorities continued to build Friday over access to the hotly disputed border area in Eagle Pass which migrants had been using to cross into the US illegally by the thousands.

The same day Customs and Border Protection released its operational figures for December — showing a record 302,034 encounters along the Southwest border in December, a stark indication the migrant crisis is not slowing down.

Gov. Greg Abbott had marched state troops into Shelby Park on Jan. 11 and erected fences, barriers and razor wire on the banks of the Rio Grande, which serves as the border with Mexico, in a bid to deter people from crossing.

The takeover has been challenged by the Department of Homeland Security, who claimed federal officers need access to the area and demanded for it to be cleared by Friday.

Four National Guard members at the gate entrance to Shelby Park told The Post they hadn’t seen any federal authorities at the park despite the deadline to relinquish control at 1 p.m. local time.
