Border Patrol agents remain unable to access the border in Eagle Pass 100 days since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) ordered the state military to fence the area to prevent federal police from cutting through state-installed barbed wire.

Federal law enforcement has been locked out of a strip of the border in south-central Texas since Jan. 10, when Abbott ordered National Guard soldiers to install 6-foot fences around Shelby Park, city land situated next to the Rio Grande.
