The state says Shelby Park is open. Some locals beg to differ.
In a January 13 filing to the U.S. Supreme Court, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other attorneys from his office stated that Shelby Park, the central public recreation space in the border town of Eagle Pass, was open for the public to enjoy. Earlier that week, the Texas National Guard “used roadblocks to temporarily close the Park to local residents while they secured the facility,” but it has “since been reopened for recreational use,” the state attorneys wrote.
