Originally Published 1 year ago — by ABC13 Houston

A federal appeals court has ruled that the federal government cannot destroy the razor wire fence Texas installed along the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, reversing a lower court's decision. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton praised the ruling as a victory for state rights, while activists criticized it as inhumane. The decision comes amid discussions between Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on border security and drug trafficking, with Sheinbaum assuring Trump that Mexico is managing migrant flows.

"Biden Seeks Supreme Court Approval to Alter Texas Border Razor Wire"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by New York Post

The Biden administration has requested the Supreme Court to allow Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed by Texas near the US-Mexico border, arguing that it impedes their ability to patrol and enforce immigration laws. The Justice Department asserts federal authority to access land near the border without a warrant. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has opposed the move, promising to continue building barriers and enforcing state immigration efforts, leading to a legal standoff between the state and the federal government.
