Texas law enforcement removes barbed wire from border area

Texas law enforcement officials took down razor wire fences across its border with Mexico, according to Border Report. The action took place along a stretch of the Rio Grande between Downton El Paso and Old Fort Bliss.

The outlet's cameras captured the moment, with military members taking large amounts of wire that sought to discourage migrants coming from Juarez, Mexico. The state didn't specify why it had taken down the wire, but Governor Greg Abbott recently published a photo of a welder working on a fence.
