Austin, January 25 (RHC)-- In Texas, state authorities continue to bar federal Border Patrol agents from accessing its border with Mexico, defying a Supreme Court order issued this week. 

Texas troopers are still erecting razor wire along the border, which has cut off most of Shelby Park, near Eagle Pass — a city park on the banks of the Rio Grande. 

On Wednesday, a Texas official says a 35-year-old man from Nicaragua drowned in the Rio Grande.  Two others were rescued. 

Last week, a mother and her two young children died in the area while attempting to cross the Rio Grande. 

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump is reportedly pressuring Republican senators to reject a bipartisan border bill because he is concerned passage of the legislation could help Joe Biden’s election chances in November.
