Overview
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Texas, allowing the state to keep razor wire along the Mexico border in Eagle Pass. The ruling comes as Texas continues aggressive border security measures amid ongoing tensions with the Biden administration. Governor Greg Abbott praised the ruling, asserting that it supports Texas's efforts to safeguard its properties. While some migrants have been injured by the wire, the court deemed Texas likely to succeed in its claims against federal trespassing violations, challenging federal immigration enforcement actions.
