New Rules Posted At Southern Border After National Guards Overwhelmed By Mob of Immigrants, Restricting Media

You can go to the border, but don’t get to close.

In fact, if you’re part of the media (mainly meaning independent journalists) there is now a new list of rules for you to follow.

It seems the powers that be weren’t too pleased to have their moment of being overrun by immigrants captured on video for all the world to see.

Can’t give the impression that they’re not containing that area.

The Western Journal reports:

The reality at the southern border became more clear for many Americans when the New York Post’s Jennie Taer shared video of dozens of illegals overwhelming members of the Texas National Guard, tearing fencing apart, and rushing to get into the United States.

President Joe Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection took quick action, however, to keep that from happening again.

That is, to keep video like that from getting out again.

Taer shared a picture Thursday afternoon in an X post that showed two Border Patrol members putting up a sign directing members of the media to stay away from the area where Taer apparently was when she took that video the previous day.

“MEMBERS OF MEDIA,” the sign shouted out in all caps, “Please stay off the ramp and away from the sliding gate.”

“DO NOT disrupt U.S. Border Patrol Operations by being in the was of transportation vehicles,” the sign warned.

“DO NOT attempt to make contact with migrants unless authorized by U.S. Border Patrol officials,” it continued.

The sign then directed any further inquiries to the U.S. Border Patrol Public Affairs Office.

Media now being blocked from the scene where we captured a breach by hundreds of migrants in El Paso yesterday,” Taer said in the X post in which she shared the picture of the sign.

Here’s the moment that really got a lot of people’s attention to the severity of the problem down at the border:

We’ve since learned that migrants who rioted at the border in El Paso were armed with knives and shanks

Shortly after this mob, along with the sign going up, there’s more fencing.

The battle continues down at the border.

More razor wire installed and more Texas National Guard soldiers deployed in El Paso today.

We continue to redouble and reinforce our efforts.

Texas will keep taking historic action to protect our state—and our nation—from Biden’s disastrous open border policies. pic.twitter.com/J1JPW6PMVy
