Rachel Monroe on the “Take Our Border Back” rally and its movement toward Eagle Pass, Texas, where Governor Greg Abbott has brought a conflict over state power and the U.S.-Mexico border.
The convoy arrived on a supporter’s land in Quemado on Friday evening. By Saturday afternoon, when I arrived, there were several hundred people milling around, listening to guest speakers and getting slowly sunburned; simultaneous rallies held in Yuma, Arizona, and San Ysidro, California, appear to have been less well attended. The event was sparked in part by the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, and his aggressive defiance of the federal government.
The Supreme Court has ruled that Texas must allow federal agents to remove the wire, but Abbott has so far defied the ruling, issuing a letter claiming that Texas is under invasion and has the right to defend itself; twenty-five Republican governors have written a statement in support. Abbott’s insurrection-adjacent rhetoric seems to have breathed new energy into a movement that was thrown off by the events of January 6th.
