Judge Alia Moses granted the state’s request for a temporary restraining order.
Members of the Texas National Guard install razor wire barricades at the border wall in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, Oct. 19, 2023.A federal judge has temporarily barred the federal government from removing or cutting concertina wire Texas authorities have placed in areas near the U.S.
The state of Texas is suing the Biden administration over what they call CBP’s practice of "cutting, destroying, or otherwise damaging Texas’s concertina wire that had been strategically positioned for the purpose of securing the border and stemming the flow of illegal migration." "Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings. Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire," he posted on X.
The lawsuit raises several legal questions about whether Texas can prevent federal agents from enforcing immigration and asylum laws. In areas like Eagle Pass, Texas, the concertina wire is placed on the northern and U.S. side of the Rio Grande River, which means migrants who reach it are already on U.S. soil and legally allowed to enter through for apprehension and processing.
