Brown people have access to bolt cutters. What's the point? They may kill some birds.

Texas National Guard soldiers were seen preparing for the installation of more razor wire along the southern border in Eagle Pass, coming after the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Biden’s Border Patrol was allowed to remove the border protection.
Footage showed troops assembling razor wire structures under an overpass, with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk writing on X, "The Texas National Guard responds to the Supreme Court's order to remove the razor wire in Eagle Pass by installing even more. Governor Abbott has said "Texas will not back down" as it defends its border. HOLD THE LINE TEXAS."

This is the response I expected from Abbott, but I have to entertain the thought that this could also be a catalyst for a showdown between federal and state forces. There is historical precedent, though Texas has not threatened secession, nor do I expect them to, but animosity is simmering in Texas. Let's hope it doesn't boil over. Although a statement by Tucker Carlson seems to be pointing in that direction...
He seems to be calling for a situation that could turn ugly in today's political climate, though I don't necessarily disagree.

If Biden can defy rulings from the Supreme Court why can't Abbot?

I'd like to see Texas start deputizing anyone that wants to assist their efforts.
If they demonstrate legal protection from the Feds, I bet they could get thousands down there to help.
They need to show they're not going to let the FBI raid people's families at 4am.

I'd say this more than warrants militia activation. Overdue, to be honest.

If I was an open border racist, that is what I would post.
Not saying you are an open border racist, but the similarity is astounding.

That's awesome. It will give the Federal Marshalls authority to incarcerate more idiots. Are you people that ignorant of the law? Abbott and Texas LEO/citizens have absolutely to authority here. That's what SCOTUS told them. They can likely be shot on sight for resisting federal authority.

It would only take one trigger happy idiot to light this powder keg.

Maybe you misread me. It is the right always talking about a shooting war or civil war 2.0
Am I wrong about this?
I think not and proven by your original post.
Thank you for just proving my point.
