Texas is currently embroiled in a conflict with federal authorities over control of the southern border. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed the Biden administration's legal authority to remove razor wire along the border. However, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has defied this ruling and is preventing federal agents from accessing the area.
The ramifications of this border battle are being felt by migrants who are caught in the middle. A video footage highlights the plight of a Venezuelan couple who fled the oppressive Maduro regime. After spending two days on the US banks of the Rio Grande, near the razor wire, they were left with no food or water and sustained injuries from the wire. They eventually resorted to jumping the border barrier, only to be apprehended by Texas authorities.
