A | Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the state’s National Guard to install a barrier in some parts along the Texas/New Mexico state line. Officials say guard members have been placing concertina wire in an area close to Sunland Park, New Mexico, which shares a border with El Paso, Texas.Footage shot by KVIA shows some of the fencing running along the Rio Grande.ABC News has reached out to Texas officials, who have not yet provided an estimate of how much fencing is being installed.Abbott says the barrier is meant to deter migrants who cross from Mexico into New Mexico before heading to El Paso.“Texas installs fencing along NEW Mexico border. Our barriers around El Paso forced the migrants crossing illegally to enter into New Mexico. They then entered into El Paso from there. To end that, we are building a barrier on the New Mexico border,” the governor posted Sunday on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.In a statement given to ABC News, the Texas Military Department (TMD) said the Texas National Guard is “fortifying” the border between the two states.“The Texas National Guard has heavily fortified the border in El Paso with 18 miles of concertina wire. We are now fortifying the border between Texas and New Mexico to block migrants who are entering New Mexico illegally and then crossing into Texas. The effort in El Paso was bolstered by the recent deployment of the Texas Tactical Border Force to El Paso. The Texas National Guard remains focused on operations to prevent, deter, and interdict transnational criminal activity and illegal immigration along the border,” the TMD public affairs office said.A spokesperson for New Mexico Rep. Gabe Vasquez says state officials were not warned about the governor’s plans.A statement given to ABC News by Vasquez said, in part, that the barrier is unconstitutional.“However, this is one of the many political stunts that the Texas governor has cooked up to demonize immigrants and that provides no real long-term solution to the crisis that we're facing. Governor Abbott has done this before. He has put up an illegal border wall with shipping containers, then he conned migrants into taking buses to other states without their clear consent, then he put up a death trap on the Rio Grande that drowned innocent migrants seeking asylum, and now, his latest stunt is putting up a barrier between Texas and New Mexico,” Vasquez said.Abbott is facing an ongoing lawsuit over his decision to install a floating barrier in the Rio Grande on the U.S. and Mexico border. The state is arguing that they did not need permission from the federal government to install buoys along a 1,000-foot stretch of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas.The governor’s office has not responded to an ABC News inquiry about whether Texas officials discussed Abbott's plans with their New Mexico counterparts.The Texas Military Department, Department of Public Safety, and the governor’s office did not answer when asked how much of the planned 18-miles-long wire fencing has been placed and if more is planned.“The state stands ready to assist as requested by federal or local partners to ensure individuals are treated with compassion and respect while maintaining public safety. We encourage Gov. Abbott to turn his attention away from a never-ending stream of political stunts and toward working in earnest for the people of the state he was elected to represent,” said Caroline Sweeney, a spokesperson for New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.In a joint statement, the Democratic Party chairs of both Texas and New Mexico called for the barrier to be removed. “Shame on Greg Abbott for using public tax dollars to uplift his dangerous approach to border security, and infringing upon Texans’ and New Mexicans’ right to move freely across state lines. Texas and New Mexico Democrats condemn Abbott’s razor wire fencing along our state borders, and call for its removal effective immediately,” their statement read in part.At an event hosted last month by the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, Abbott said that even if Texas was able to stop all unlawful entries through the Texas-Mexico border, some would still be coming in from New Mexico.“Not only are we building border barriers between the border of Texas and Mexico, we're also having now to build border barriers between Texas and New Mexico,” he said.。 湘西州福彩联合州公安局开展打击非法彩票公益宣传活动为持续规范彩票市场秩序,筑牢乡村景区防范非法彩票安全防线,切实守护群众财产安全,7月14日,湖南省湘西州福彩中心联合州公安局反电诈中心、交管支队、禁毒办、古丈县公安、默戎镇政府、默戎苗寨景区等多家单位,在古丈县默戎苗寨开展“平安苗寨,警民同心;公益福彩,抵制黑彩”联合集中宣传活动,将打击非法彩票、反诈、禁毒、交通安全知识送入苗寨村寨、送到游客身边。本次宣传活动依托默戎苗寨“7・14”民俗主题集中宣传主场开展,现场设置福彩公益宣传专区,摆放打击非法彩票警示展板、悬挂主题横幅,工作人员向前来参与活动的村民、景区商户、游览游客发放福彩公益折页、非法彩票防范宣传单,结合湘西本地实际开展以案释法讲解。工作人员细致区分正规福利彩票与非法彩票、网络非法售彩的本质区别,揭露不法分子以“高赔率、稳中奖”为诱饵实施敛财诈骗的常见套路,同步普及福彩“扶老、助残、救孤、济困”发行宗旨,介绍福彩公益金在民生保障、助残帮扶、乡村建设等领域的落地成效,引导群众树立理性购彩、娱乐购彩理念,自觉前往线下正规福彩网点购彩。活动融合苗族民俗文艺演出、有奖知识问答、互动抽奖等群众喜闻乐见的形式,提升宣传传播实效。苗家迎宾鼓、傩舞、交通手势操、反诈主题歌曲等特色节目轮番上演,现场两轮有奖问答专门设置5道打击非法彩票专项题目,群众踊跃举手抢答。答题群众凭排队卡牌参与抽奖活动,冰袖、毛巾、遮阳帽等福彩主题宣传礼品有序发放,让抵制非法彩票、防范诈骗知识在轻松趣味的互动过程中入脑入心。公安民警现场公布非法彩票线索举报渠道,鼓励群众主动检举私彩、网络非法售彩等违法线索,构建全民共治的防范格局。此次“警福联动”进苗寨宣传,立足湘西乡村景区实际,借助苗寨人流量大、受众覆盖面广的优势,实现公益福彩科普与基层平安普法深度融合。下一步,湘西州福彩中心将持续深化与公安部门常态化联合宣传机制,持续走进乡镇村寨、旅游景区、社区集市,常态化开展责任彩票、打击非法彩票宣传活动,不断拓宽宣传阵地、创新宣传形式,严厉遏制非法彩票向农村、景区蔓延势头,全力净化全州福彩市场环境。
