A federal appeals court on Wednesday stopped the federal government from destroying a fence of razor wire that Texas installed along the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass to deter migrants from entering the country illegally.
The ruling, criticized by activists, came hours before Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum told President-elect Donald Trump that immigrants headed to the U.S. are being “taken care of” in her country.
Texas had placed more than 29 miles of wire in the Eagle Pass area by last September when Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden administration over Border Patrol agents’ alleged illegal destruction of state property by cutting the wire.
On Wednesday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans issued a 2-1 opinion that reversed a lower court’s ruling and granted Texas a limited preliminary injunction against the federal government.
“It was shocking to me that the federal government would go out of their way to cut razor wire to allow illegals to cross when we're just trying to protect our own land,” Paxton said during a Wednesday evening appearance on Newsmax. “This wasn't their land. This was our land, our private property. It had nothing due to the federal government. So this is a good win for Texas, a good win for the country, that this court recognized our ability to protect our land.”
The legal dispute had not stopped Texas from installing such razor wire in Eagle Pass, where the state earlier this year took over a municipal park, Shelby Park, against the city’s wishes.

I’d like to know how much in kickbacks Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum was getting from the biden/harris regime.
That doesn’t even make sense and she was inaugurated less than 2 months ago.
Imagine that. Our own political leaders ran to a courtroom to try destroying a fence meant to keep the illegals out. Truly bizarro world, right now
Next stop, SCOTUS.
Evil treasonous traitors.
“Feds can’t destroy razor wire Texas installed near Eagle Pass, appeals court rules”
Well, that’s a darn shame... That’s outrageous. What’s this world coming to?
BTTT
Just "drop them off" at the train station.
Oh! Sorry. Didnt realize that.
The Biden Regime ripped open our borders with forethought and malice and the traitors must pay.
“Claudia Sheinbaum told President-elect Donald Trump that immigrants headed to the U.S. are being ‘taken care of’ in her country.”
Translation: Illegal aliens are being ushered to planes in Mexico to be flown OVER the border. That’s been going on for a long time now. That’s how Biden-Harris can say that “border crossings are down” — because they are.
“ Just “drop them off” at the train station.”
