EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is pushing back and adding more razor wire to the border fence after Monday's Supreme Court ruling that the border patrol can remove the wire along the southern border.
So far, the border patrol in the borderland has not cut down any of the razor wire.
In the meantime, Abbott says he won’t back down despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, and for now, plans to continue to secure the border however he wants to.
“What Governor Abbott is doing is not just unconstitutional, and it’s not just harmful to very vulnerable people, but it is impairing the border patrol's ability to do their job, and it’s the border patrol that is trained and equipped to address migration,” said Congresswoman Veronica Escobar.
Speaking in El Paso Monday, Escobar said she believes Abbott is out of line for adding more razor wire just a day after the Supreme Court issued the ruling.
Abbott posted on X saying, “The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line”
Texas law enforcement in Eagle Pass was also seen putting up more wire on Tuesday.

Is he?
I thought the court said fedgov could damage it.
Did they say Texas could not put it there?
Better late than never. Looks like Abbott finally grew a pair
The Supreme court said Biden could cut holes in it. They didn’t say Texas couldn’t put it up, or patch the holes..
LOL 😂 !!!!
Governor Abbott took an oath to protect the state of Texas.
The truth is the CBP agents have an understanding behind the scenes with the deployed Texas DPS troopers and National Guard soldiers to secure the border regardless of the treasonous communist junta that is the Biden administration. All are Texas patriots who stand firmly for the safety and security of Texas residents. They know the community supports them solidly in their efforts to "Hold the Line!"
The bigger problem with Barrett (Roberts is an administrative state traitor, which we already knew) is that it shows how conservative scruples in following the law allow the left and it's factotum, the Biden regime, to win.
If you're fighting a war and want to win, you first have to recognize that. Pretending the Constitution still functions won't make it so.
Deserves repeating!
“Go Abbott!!!”
Any relation to Pablo?
Could she want the border open to help move the family product?
Abbot for PRESIDENT!!!
Ya beat me to it. I guess I need to learn to read all comments before posting.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And before that, the Sanctuary cities ignored the constitution.
Lawlessness breeds lawlessness. Suck it up Supreme Court.
“she merely opined that the law was not clear enough to show that Texas would win”
That seems like a weird criteria to judge by. So the judge has to first opine if it’s a clear law. That seems like judging the case before you judge the case.
He is not defying the court, they just said the CBP can cut the wire, it did not say that Texas could place it and did not order them to remove it. So it could be Texas puts up one day, CBP removes the next day and so on and so forth.
Yup. I side with Texas. Especially when Biden and the Democrats always ignore the law when it suits them.
My exact thoughts when I saw that name. You don’t honestly think ol’ Pablo’s billions just up and vanished like a fart in the wind, do you?
If the law is unclear, (b) is unclear.
