Border States' Legal Battle: Razor Wire, Governors, and Supreme Court Intervention
Texas is defying the Biden administration in a legal and physical battle over border security, with the Supreme Court granting an emergency appeal to allow federal officials to cut razor wire installed by Gov. Greg Abbott. Legal experts Jonathan Turley and Richard Painter weigh in on the issue, with Turley suggesting that Texas may not have a strong legal basis to prevent federal access and Painter highlighting the ambiguity in immigration law jurisdiction between the federal government and states. Abbott argues that the federal government has failed to enforce immigration laws, leading to multiple legal battles between Texas and the Biden administration.
