A huge MAGA truck convoy called ‘Army of God’ is heading toward the southern border as experts ring the alarms over the border crisis after a record 302,000 migrants crossed over into the US.

The massive convoy of truckers is making its way to three migrant hotspots across three states in a bid to shame the White House into tackling the worsening crisis.

Hundreds – possibly thousands – of big rigs are planning to head for Eagle Pass in Texas, Yuma in Arizona and San Ysidro in California from January 29 for the four-day ‘Take Back Our Border’ event.

They hope the eye-catching, all-American protest will draw further attention to record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border and into the US, with multiple cities now buckling under the weight of trying to care for them.

In October, President Joe Biden requested emergency funding – asking Congress for more border agents, officers and deportation flights.

Last week, he vowed to shut down the border if the bill passes.

Congressman Keith Self, a Republican representative from Texas said: ‘Once again, the truckers are standing for We the People.

‘The time is NOW to take action and secure our borders!’

The development is the latest in an increasingly heated and chaotic political fight over whether Texas can ignore or supersede the federal government – as Gov. Greg Abbott accuses the Biden Administration of not doing enough to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the Lone Star State.

Despite the Supreme Court ruling on Monday in favor of the Biden Administration that Border Patrol agents can cut razor wire placed at the border (placed there by Texas) if they feel the need to, Texas is doubling down.

The state added more wire fencing, a is refusing to give up control of a Eagle Pass park it seized control of on January 10.

However, a golf course still remains open in the park for locals to enjoy the genteel pastime – while federally employed Border Patrol agents are barred.

The feds were given the state a deadline of January 26 to allow Border Patrol agents, were have been banned from the park, access to Shelby Park.

San Antonio Congressman Joaquin Castro called out Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday.

‘Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border. If Abbott is defying yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now,’ Castro posted online.

Texas, with 25 governors from Republican states releasing letters backing up Abbott, has plenty of support.

‘I think the border has now reached a boiling point, that you now see governors getting involved,’ Self told Fox Business News.

‘We have a trucker convoy coming down to the border. The American people are going to have to get involved.’

The group behind the convoy is asking all peaceful American to participate starting Monday.

Migrants are pictured making their way through razor wire in Eagle Pass in December 2023. The Texas city is one of three that will play host to the latest convoy later this month

‘These people are committed to a peaceful demonstration, that we have had enough– the American people have had enough. We’re demanding the Biden Administration do its job, enforce the laws on the books and secure our border.’

In 2022 to 2023, there was a record 2.48 million interceptions along the southern border – and many more crossers who entered the United States undetected.

September 2023 saw an all-time high 269,735 interceptions. Migrants intercepted by Border Patrol agents can ask to apply for asylum.

They are usually released into the United States while awaiting their case being heard by a court.
