The largest union for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents expressed support for Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the state’s border security efforts.
The union stated that rank-and-file Border Patrol agents would not comply if the Biden Administration orders them to arrest Texas law enforcement and National Guard personnel.
The Border Patrol Union posted, “Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders. That’s fake news.”

“TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other’s jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders,” they continued.
The Union explained, “Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.”
Texas officials, led by Governor Abbott, have been taking measures to secure the border, citing the federal government’s failure to deter illegal immigration.
The Biden Administration ordered Texas to vacate a particular area, but Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has indicated that the state will continue its border security measures.
The situation remains tense, and there are calls from elected Democrats to federalize the Texas National Guard, while more than 20 red state governors have offered to send their own National Guard personnel to assist Texas.
Rep. Joaquin Castro said, “If Abbott is defying yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling … [Biden] needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now.”
