A federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked the Biden administration from removing razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border that was placed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s administration to stop illegal migrants from entering the country. The U.S. Border Patrol has argued it sometimes needs to cut the wire to save lives when migrants are at risk of dehydration or drowning.
In her opinion, Moses said she will need to consider the property rights of people consenting to have wire placed on their land, Texas’s right to assist those property owners and the Biden administration’s “responsibilities over national security and border security, and its powers to effectuate its duties, up to and including the destruction of private or state property.
