What ridiculous interpretation of the constitution gave them the idea that they had any authority over a state or its borders?
Those in power rarely -- if ever -- concede it. We've been giving the federal government too much power with no pushback for decades..centuries.
The feds (and fed courts) claim that they have authority over immigration anywhere within 100 miles of the border, and Eagle Pass is.
However ...
Texas is not arguing that they are enforcing federal immigration law.
They enforcing Texas state law by arresting people who are illegally present within Texas.
