SCOTUS Rules To Remove Razor Wire Barriers From The Rio Grande

The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling was a temporary victory for the Biden administration, giving the federal government the upper hand in its border battle with Texas.

The Supreme Court ruled on a decision regarding the removal of razor wire barriers along a 29-mile stretch of the Rio Grande.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott authorized the installation of the razor wire as part of a broader effort to deter migrants from crossing the Mexico border. However, the Biden administration has argued the razor wire impedes border patrol operations.

The Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling was a temporary victory for the Biden administration, giving the federal government the upper hand in its border battle with Texas.

The fight over the barriers is a part of a struggle between Texas Gov. Abbott and President Biden as the two fail to see eye to eye and Abbott continues making decisions on the border crisis that undermine the federal government’s authority over the issue.
