Abbott needs to ignore this and tell Biden that this is an act of War against the sovereignty of the State of Texas and its citizens and that he will deploy the National Guard and protect this area from Federal regulators.
Same as Iraq invading the Kuwait to claim their oil fields.
Also the local sheriff can deputize as many folks as he needs to start arresting the Feds if the come to town.
High time too. All it will take is the right spark, and some courageous leaders, and similar actions would ignite nationwide.
Abbott could play hardball, but so could Biden’s handlers (Sleepy Joe himself probably doesn’t care one way or the other.)
Anyway, Biden’s handlers could just arrest any trucker who crossed the Texas border. Yeah, they are that vindictive.
No one is going to declare war on DC, after what happened to the truckers in Canada who tried doing something similar. It’s the courts and only the courts, now.
