Texas Gov. Greg Abbott laying razor wire despite court order

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has continued to install razor wire around a migrant-engulfed border city despite a US Supreme Court ruling this week that granted federal agents access to the area.

Texas razor wire is an effective deterrent against the illegal border crossings encouraged by Biden s open border policies, Abbott defiantly wrote on X Wednesday.

We continue to deploy this razor wire to repel illegal immigration.

Texas officials cordoned off Shelby Park in Eagle Pass earlier this month and stationed state National Guard units at the site to block anyone, including Border Patrol agents who hadn t been granted prior approval, from entering.

Abbott argued that the parcel had been used as a gathering place for migrants entering the US by crossing the nearby Rio Grande river.

Denying access to the area, he said, discouraged illegal entries into Eagle Pass, Texas.

The Department of Homeland Security is fighting to regain access to the stretch, contending its personnel are unable to reach migrants in need of emergency care.
