Texas Nationalist Movement Condemns the Supreme Court's Border Ruling

The Texas Nationalist Movement condemns the United States Supreme Court for allowing the federal government to intentionally collapse the border between Texas and Mexico. In a 5-4 ruling, the Court granted the Biden administration's request to vacate a Fifth Circuit injunction in the case over barriers Texas was using to stop illegal crossings.

The federal government has again failed Texas. The Court made clear that Washington will not allow Texas to protect its own border and its own people, and that the federal government's respect for the rights of the states is a thing of the past. The movement urged Governor Greg Abbott and the legislature to call an immediate special session to explore Texas independence.

“All three branches of government are working in concert to deny Texas the right, as a sovereign state, to secure our border,” said TNM founder Daniel Miller. “This is an existential threat to the sovereignty of Texas and the fundamental right of self-government of the people of Texas. The power to determine how Texas is governed does not lie with the federal courts. It is, by right, reserved to the people of Texas. It is time to let the people speak.”

The movement noted that it had gathered more than 139,000 signatures in 2023 to force a TEXIT referendum onto the 2024 primary ballot, signatures the Republican Party of Texas rejected late that year, and said it would continue to work with legislators and activists to secure the border and to put independence before the voters.
