Praise God. Good for him (Abbott). I hope & pray that governors of other
states, and not just Republican ones, do likewise. The Tenth Amendment is
in the Constitution for a reason. Time for the states to stand up to
federal interference on a number of fronts.
Don't Mess with Texas! :-)

*Gov. Abbott Expels FEMA “Mask Police” from Texas*

* Just two days prior to lifting a statewide mask mandate, Texas Governor
Greg Abbott prevented two planeloads of federal mask police from setting
foot in the Lonestar State, Real Raw News has learned.*
On Sunday, February 28, at 10:30pm, Abbott heard that two chartered
Embracer light passenger jets, each carrying 60 mask enforcement agents
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, were en route from Washington
D.C. to Austin, Texas. The aircraft were scheduled to land at Austin
Executive Airport, a smaller and less conspicuous point of arrival than the
city’s primary aviation hub, Austin-Bergstrom Intl. Airport.
A source at the governor’s office speaking under condition of anonymity
told RRN that Governor Abbott had not been officially forewarned. Nor had
he requested aid from Washington. He was tipped off by an employee at the
offices of Travis County Judge Andy Brown, a Democrat known for challenging
Abbott’s effective Covid-19 response measures. Brown, who has been at
loggerheads with the Travis County Sherriff’s Department over its refusal
to enforce mask mandates and fine offenders, had sought help from
Washington.
Brown allegedly spoke to Kamala Harris and Dr. Anthony Fauci and beseeched
them to send federal enforcement agents who, unlike sheriff’s deputies,
wouldn’t balk at forcibly enforcing his executive orders. His plea was
apparently successful, as the flights of civil rights-trampling agents
lifted off less than 36 hours later.
As previously reported, FEMA in January repurposed an eighth of its
workforce to help state municipalities with mask enforcement duties, and
its personnel have been widely used in Michigan, New York, California, and
other Democratic strongholds. But not—as far as RRN knows— in Red states
helmed by Republican governors.
“To say Abbott was pissed is an understatement. Judge Brown and Austin
Mayor Steve Adler conspired to keep him in the dark. They broke chain of
command, and I imagine the Biden administration was quite pleased. When
Abbott got the tip, the first plane was 90 minutes from wheels down. He had
a revelatory moment: if the planes landed, more would follow.”
Abbott, our source added, immediately contacted Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and
state AG Ken Paxton to discuss how to handle unwanted federal agents on
Texas soil. They agreed, unanimously, that D.C. should have cleared the
incursion with the governor’s office; to do otherwise was unlawful.
“Paxton pointed out that Abbott had already given FEMA permission to
operate in Texas, though just to help with vaccine administration. But this
probably emboldened the Biden administration into believing they could
wantonly land as many FEMA in Texas as they wanted. Abbott wasn’t having
any of that,” our source said.
Abbott notified the Texas National Guard station in Austin, and at his
request, commanding officer Major General Robert Bodisch at once deployed a
detachment of Guardsmen—exact figures unknown—to the airfield, with orders
to prevent passengers from deboarding the aircraft. When the first plane
touched down at midnight, it was quickly encircled by several Humvees
brimming with armed soldiers.
“A brief standoff occurred. The lieutenant in charge told the pilot to
refuel and take off, that he had orders to expel any FEMA agents trying to
get off the plane. We don’t know what conversation went on between the
pilot and Washington, or between him and whoever on the plane was in charge
of the FEMA people, but after twenty minutes they refueled and left. The
second aircraft, which was in a holding pattern and low on fuel, was given
the same privilege,” our source said.
In closing, our source said Gov. Abbot relayed the incident to governors
of other republican states, cautioning them to keep a wary eye on
treacherous Democratic legislators in their midst.
