Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas says the move was done without city consent.
Eagle Pass has been a hotspot for illegal migrant crossings as seen in the video below.
“Texas is holding the line at our southern border with miles of additional razor wire and anti-climb barriers to deter and repel the record-high levels of illegal immigration invited by Biden’s reckless open border policies,” Abbot spokesperson Renae Eze recently said.
“Texas will continue to deploy Texas National Guard soldiers, DPS troopers, and more barriers, utilizing every tool and strategy to respond to President Biden’s ongoing border crisis.”
Texas Gov. Abbott seizes Eagle Pass border park without warning to combat migrant crisis, mayor claims

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took control of a public park in a border city plagued by illegal immigration without warning on Wednesday, its mayor alleged Thursday.
Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said the state seized Shelby Park, erecting fences to keep citizens out without any notice as part of Abbott’s emergency declaration to combat the migrant crisis.
Shelby Park, which abuts the Rio Grande, has been flooded with migrants crossing into Texas via the dangerous river.
“That is not a decision that we agreed to,” Salinas said in an impassioned speech Thursday.
“This is not something that we wanted. This is not something that we asked for as a city.”
Wednesday night, fencing had already blocked off the entrances and military trucks were parked inside, video Salinas shared shows.
According to Salinas, Texas’ Department of Public Safety told Eagle Pass officials that the state was seizing the 50-acre public park through a disaster declaration, an authority Texas officials have used before on the border.
In addition to reportedly offering no timetable, the state did not disclose how long they anticipated holding control over the park — meaning that a trove of events and festivals planned for the spring could be canceled.
