#Texas-Federal Confrontation # Constitutional Crisis- The Beginning of the 2025 Constitutional Crisis

[lomeng112]

Goals

In early 2025, Texas refused to implement the Supreme Court's ruling on border control on the grounds of "federal overreach" and mobilized the state National Guard to take over border patrol rights. Governor Greg Abbott cited the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, claiming that "Texas has the right to self-defense" and signed an executive order to freeze federal agencies' law enforcement powers in the state. The White House declared the move "unconstitutional" and threatened to cut off federal funding. The confrontation between the two sides escalated rapidly, with federal troops gathering in Austin, and the Texas Legislature passed a resolution calling for a "re-evaluation of the federal-state contractual relationship." This crisis exposed the fragility of the U.S. federal system, and public opinion began to question: Is there still a need for a central government that cannot coordinate local wills?
