Court Upholds Texas' Right to Maintain Razor Wire Border Barrier
TL;DR
A federal appeals court has ruled that the federal government cannot destroy the razor wire fence Texas installed along the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, reversing a lower court's decision. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton praised the ruling as a victory for state rights, while activists criticized it as inhumane. The decision comes amid discussions between Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on border security and drug trafficking, with Sheinbaum assuring Trump that Mexico is managing migrant flows.
