Supreme Court ruling allows Biden administration to cut down razor wire on the U.S.-Mexico border

The Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration has the legal authority to open the border and remove razor wire along the Rio Grande sector in Texas. Notably, some conservative justices, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, joined the ruling. Texas Governor Greg Abbott expressed his opposition to the ruling and highlighted the negative impacts of illegal immigration on the state. He drafted a letter asserting the state's authority and received support from 25 other states with Republican governors. In response, the Biden administration threatened Texas and other states with a 24-hour deadline to reopen the border and remove the barbed wire.
