Supreme Court allows Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed by Texas at Mexico border
NBC News ^ | 1/22/24 | Lawrence Hurley

WASHINGTON — A closely-divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an effort by the state to prevent illegal border crossings.

The court on a 5-4 vote granted an emergency request filed by the Biden administration, which had argued that Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties.

The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

So when the next 9/11 happens from border crossers, the Dems will blame the good guys but like their preposterous claim by Biden that the GOP caused the lack of a border wall, we will have to bring the truth to the masses again. If we can.

Trump was stopped every step of the way by the Left.
The Left people are guilty.

The country has been invaded by millions of illegals but Roberts and Barrett won’t even let Texas slow it down.

We’re no longer a republic.

Texas can do anything it likes.

As long as it’s prepared to stand toe-to-toe with Deep State.

My bet is Texas’s pols will nuckle under.

Move it back 15 feet and make Biden sue again.

Repeat as necessary.

Especially if Deep State threatens to cut off federal funding to Texas.

Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties

if they were carrying out their duties, the barbed wire would not be necessary.

did they have standing with the wire being in place?

this appears to be on a preliminary injunction. if so, the main case still needs to be heard, which means there is still a slim chance that the rule of law might prevail (yes?).

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton rebuffed a Biden administration request that the state back off its takeover of a public park at Eagle Pass. This followed an incident in which three people drowned while trying to cross the Rio Grande. The Department of Homeland Security said Border Patrol agents were “physically barred” from entering the area during the incident.


Absolute Lie and NBC Knows it.

I understand that. But doesn’t Texas have a right to protect itself if the federal government won’t?

The ball is in Texas’s court.

Are they serious or just engaging in political posturing for the voters?

I do not understand how “Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties”...are their duties just letting people come on in?

I’m just baying at the fuggin’ moon. You know that. Americans are azhoes for believing this is our government. Not anymore. We do what those bastard commies and Nazis tell us to do. They are ripping the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to shreds. The SCOTUS needs a swift kick in the ass. Unless, the dumb bastards haven’t figured out that this invasion by foreigners is only to build up the RAT Party’s voter base and that would just indicate their ignorance.

For all we know the justices are under house arrest and Deep State is issuing its own decisions in SCOTUS’s name.

If Abbott has any balls, he would say, “Hey Biden, you ignored the Supreme Court ruling on student loans, so we are ignoring this bull$hit ruling.”
