"Texas Governor Defies Supreme Court Ruling, Continues Border Razor Wire Installation"

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to install razor wire around Eagle Pass despite a recent Supreme Court ruling granting federal agents access to the area. Abbott argues that the wire is an effective deterrent against illegal border crossings encouraged by the Biden administration's policies. The Department of Homeland Security is fighting to regain access to the area, contending that its personnel are unable to reach migrants in need of emergency care. Abbott has been at odds with the Biden administration over immigration enforcement, and has bused nearly 100,000 migrants to sanctuary cities. The surge of migrants at the border has led to a record number of Notices to Appear issued in December, creating a staggering backlog of asylum cases.
