President Joe Biden is facing renewed calls to federalize the Texas National Guard after Governor Greg Abbott published an explosive open letter accusing the White House of having "broken the compact between the United States and the States" with its immigration policy.

Two House Democrats from Texas are urging the president to federalize the Texas National Guard.

Responding on X, formerly Twitter, Texas House Democrat Rep. Greg Casar backed an earlier call by his colleague Rep. Joaquin Castro for Biden to federalize the Texas National Guard.

"If Abbott is defying yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, President Biden needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now.".

He posted: "Joe Biden should respond to Greg Abbott by federalizing the Texas National Guard.".

If Biden does federalize the Texas National Guard, Daniel Miller, the TNM president, is urging Abbott to massively expand and militarize the Texas State Guard and deploy them to the southern border instead. »
