Add the following, "A base, entitled 'Forward Operating Eagle', has begun being constructed at Eagle Pass, and can house up to 2,300 soldiers."



This has been covered in the news, and has warranted a Forbes article. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/02/16/texas-building-military-base-camp-at-eagle-pass-amid-showdown-with-border-patrol/?sh=59e15dab1a71 [[User:Kingofmapps|Kingofmapps]] ([[User talk:Kingofmapps|talk]]) 18:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

It seems to me that the end date is a bit inaccurate. While I agree with some other comments of the talk page about it having "fizzled out", it was still ongoing well into January and is atleast technically still ongoing.

:that is a fact [[Special:Contributions/172.56.51.188|172.56.51.188]] ([[User talk:172.56.51.188|talk]]) 03:15, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Here are some reports from Febuary and one from March:

I would show the date as either 11th of Jan-present for now and then, until it either ends or a proper date for it having "fizzled out" is chosen, switching it for said date.

Basically Abbott recently signed a bill into law which authorizes the creation of an interstate compact for the purposes of border enforcement, intelligence, armed personnel and economic resources. I think this warrants its own page [[User:Corpo44|Corpo44]] ([[User talk:Corpo44|talk]]) 03:52, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

== Article needs to be updated for February ==


This article contains no updates for February 2024--I added the banner at the top. Also I support keeping Extended Confirmation Protection for now, but if there continues to be no change in the legal or physical situation, I would support reducing protection to semi-protected because the event will be in retrospect.

What really has happened since the deadline ran out? I think Biden sanctioned Texas...and then what? Nothing, the Texas border guard has just been doing what it's doing since Abbot gave them the order. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think this article has been updated (except the Date updates) at all during February. Unless Biden does do something else, I think it should be thought of as over, barring future developments that may occur, in that case, don't consider it such.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 March 2024[edit]

Add the following, "A base, entitled 'Forward Operating Eagle', has begun being constructed at Eagle Pass, and can house up to 2,300 soldiers."

This has been covered in the news, and has warranted a Forbes article. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/02/16/texas-building-military-base-camp-at-eagle-pass-amid-showdown-with-border-patrol/?sh=59e15dab1a71 Kingofmapps (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, with your wording and I made the link a source.
IMO this article no longer merits EC protection, as the physical standoff is over and mainly involves ongoing litigation. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 15:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

End date?[edit]

It seems to me that the end date is a bit inaccurate. While I agree with some other comments of the talk page about it having "fizzled out", it was still ongoing well into January and is atleast technically still ongoing.
