As the court battle over the Texas immigration law continues, more troops are arriving at the border to help with security.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed an additional 200 members of the National Guard called the Texas Tactical Border Force.
Abbott first activated the group last May when Title 42 expired, with the head of the Texas military department saying they'd execute a multi-phased response, placing troops and drone teams in hotspots.
This group is trained to respond to civil disturbances and soldiers started arriving in El Paso yesterday as a response to the hundreds of migrants who used clothes and cardboard to cover razor wire and pushed past guardsmen to turn themselves into the border patrol.
