Dallas Morning News provided local coverage of the story:

Texas will disregard the federal government’s demand to give Border Patrol agents access to the Rio Grande through a state-controlled park in Eagle Pass, Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a blunt reply letter Wednesday.Paxton defended the state’s takeover of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, saying the “facts and law side with Texas,” and criticized President Joe Biden’simmigration policies.Paxton also blasted the Department of Homeland Security for blaming last week’s drowning deaths of three migrants on the state, writing that federal agents were not denied access to the Rio Grande during the incident.“The State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court,” Paxton wrote to Jonathan E. Meyer, Homeland Security’s general counsel.Meyer penned a cease-and-desist letter to Paxton on Sunday that warned of action from the U.S. Justice Department if the state and the Texas Military Department did not stop blocking Border Patrol agents from the U.S.-Mexico border after fencing off the almost 50-acre park.Paxton acknowledged that federal law gives the Border Patrol “warrantless access to land within 25 miles of the border, but only ‘for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States.’”
