In a legal decision regarding razor wire installed along the southern border ordered by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), the Supreme Court sided with the federal government, clearing the way for border patrol agents to remove the razor wire. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1749526100517019672 From the Washington Post:
Even though immigration and border security matters are generally the purview of the federal government, Abbott has mobilized thousands of National Guard troops and lined the banks of the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass with razor wire to try to block illegal entries.
Earlier this month, federal officials said Texas National Guard personnel had blocked U.S. Border Patrol agents who were investigating reports of drowning migrants from a section of the Rio Grande where the state had placed the wire barriers. The bodies of three migrants, a woman and two children, were found in the river by Mexican authorities days later.
No reasoning for the SCOTUS decision was released, although four of the conservatives on the court (Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Clarence Thomas) noted their dissents. https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1749531344470777881
