"Federal Judge Halts Removal of Texas Border Razor Wire, Securing State's Border"

A federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order, barring the federal government from removing or cutting concertina wire placed by Texas authorities along the U.S.-Mexico border. The order allows an exception if cutting the wire would prevent serious bodily injury or death. Texas filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, accusing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of damaging the wire to facilitate illegal crossings. The lawsuit raises legal questions about Texas' authority to prevent federal agents from enforcing immigration laws. The Department of Homeland Security will comply with the court's order. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been critical of the Biden administration's immigration policies and has deployed the Texas National Guard to secure the border.
