Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was asked on March 28 to provide an official opinion on the legal and constitutional ramifications of an unchecked border crisis.
In the request, State Rep. Matt Krause specifically asked Paxton “whether or not the federal government has failed—intentionally or unintentionally—to uphold its obligations to protect Texas from invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, and whether Texas has the sovereign power to defend itself from invasion.”
