I think he's trying to put Biden in an unwinnable situation. Biden either backs down and looks like a wimp or rolls out the National Guard to pull down the wire and "let the migrants in."
A good politician would just arrest Abbott
on what grounds? I'm not super up to date on this predicament
Deliberately defying federal court orders and then bragging about it.
Feds told Abbott to take down the razor wire. Abbott made the Texan Guard put it back up, then claimed Biden is violating the constitution. A stronger politician than Biden would arrest Abbott but nothing will happen because it's all theater anyway. Abbott doesn't truly give a shit and the razor wire is like 40 feet across a bridge that doesn't have migrant crossings anyway.
is Biden really just going to run around and arrest his political opponents?
you're right, but lol at everything
Abbot is hardly a political opponent on level with the president, but also unironically this dude legitimately defied orders from the federal government so yeah he should be arrested if Biden actually had the will to do it.

Seditious Conspiracy. I would love a federal investigation as to who is funding and cordinating the flow of migrants and arms to the cartels. If there is any bit of texas government or major corporations (cough EXXON TESLA) deliberately making things worse or facilitating these conditions to then cry about the conditions they facilitated for political points. All to "oppose" federal policy or rule. I think that would fall under that.
