"27-State Coalition Urges Biden to Secure Texas Border with Mexico"

More than two dozen Republican attorneys general have expressed support for Texas' efforts to secure its southern border and criticized President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas for impeding those efforts. The Supreme Court's temporary overturning of a lower court's injunction allows Border Patrol officials to cut razor wire barriers constructed by Texas along the border. Texas Governor Abbott has declared the state's right to self-defense against what he calls a migrant "invasion," while former FBI and DHS officials have warned of an "unprecedented and imminent danger" from the ongoing influx of migrants. Republicans in Congress are preparing to remove Secretary Mayorkas, and negotiations for a deal to address the border crisis are ongoing.
