Texas Lt. Governor Responds to Question About Possible 'Civil War'

It will be interesting to see what the Border Patrol union does. It seems as though they are on Texas' side...

From NBPC Twitter Friday, 1/26:

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.

TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed.

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.

We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but it simply isn't true.

in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

That almost sounds like they would strike instead
