Supreme Court Permits Removal of Razor Wire from Texas-Mexico Border

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, allowed Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire installed by Texas on the U.S.-Mexico border while a lawsuit over the wire continues. This decision comes amid an escalating standoff between the Biden administration and Texas over immigration enforcement. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been in a broader fight with the administration over immigration, authorizing the installation of floating barriers and allowing troopers to arrest and jail thousands of migrants on trespassing charges. The Biden administration has objected to these actions and is challenging them in federal court.
