“”In briefings filed with the Supreme Court on January 2, the Biden administration claimed there is “no indication that the wire had deterred migrants from crossing into the United States,” the article states.””
The wire was there to protect private property and to keep someone from trespassing. The state of Texas and the landowners on the border own that border. Unlike NM, AZ and CA we own that border to the middle of the river. NM, AZ and CA gave up a 60ft strip of land the entire length of their southern border to the Federal government. This was done in 1907 via the Roosevelt Reservation. One of the reasons the container wall in AZ had to come down, they installed it on Federal property. Over 60ft from the border and they’d have been good. The buoys in the river in Texas still remain.
What this ruling tells me is the Federal Government now has the power to not only enter private property but also remove any barriers. Private property rights just took a big hit.
