VP Vance Heads to Texas Border Day After Trump’s Historic Speech to Congress

EAGLE PASS, Texas — Vice President JD Vance and several other administration officials will tour the Texas border city of Eagle Pass on Wednesday. The trip follows Tuesday night’s historic speech to a joint session of Congress, during which President Donald Trump proudly celebrated his administration’s success in reducing migrant encounters at the southern border by 94 percent.

During the Biden administration, Eagle Pass was known as the busiest illegal crossing area for migrants. Vice President Vance is the highest-ranking official in the current Trump administration to visit the U.S. southern border since the inauguration on January 20.
