BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden administration can resume removal of the razor wire installed by the state of Texas along the border near Eagle Pass, at least while litigation is ongoing. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, & Kavanaugh all dissented. Roberts & Barrett sided w/ left leaning justices to rule in Biden admin’s favor & allow Border Patrol to remove the razor wire.
The majority of the razor wire is deployed in the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass - city owned property that the state of TX recently seized control of with armed soldiers - and kicked the federal government out.
In order to remove the wire, TX has to allow Border Patrol back in. If they refuse - what happens? This is potentially setting up a significant state vs federal showdown if push comes to shove.

NEW: Statement from the Border Patrol union @BPUnion to @FoxNews:
“The Supreme Court’s decision today is going to undoubtedly encourage more illegal immigration. Unfortunately, this means Border Patrol agents are going to be tied up dealing with give ups rather than going after the criminal elements that constantly cross our borders illegally. The administration no doubt will say this is a win for border security, but if they sought rank and file input, they would be told this will do the exact opposite. Agents support what Texas was trying to accomplish in the absence of true border security policies from this administration.”
