Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced plans for a new military base camp in Eagle Pass on the border, accommodating up to 2,300 soldiers. The establishment aims to bolster Texas' law enforcement efforts in a region where the state challenges federal authority. This move solidifies a significant military presence supporting Texas' initiatives to curb illegal crossings from Mexico. The base camp, spanning 80 acres, signals a shift towards state-led security measures previously entrusted to the federal government. Governor Abbott emphasized the camp's strategic positioning in Eagle Pass, enhancing operational efficiency for Texas military personnel. While exact costs were undisclosed, Abbott assured that expenses would be minimal given the state's existing border deployment budget. The base will offer amenities like a dining facility, gym, laundry, and medical services, reducing reliance on costly hotels for deployed personnel. This development reflects a broader trend of Republican-led states dispatching troops to address escalating border security concerns, highlighting tensions with federal border enforcement policies.
