The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Border Patrol agents could cut the concertina wire that Texas placed along the U.S.-Mexico border to block migrants from entering the state, adding new fuel to an ongoing conflict between Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and the Biden administration.
Texas has continued to place razor wire along the border, and now 25 Republican governors—every Republican governor in the country, except for Vermont's Phil Scott—are backing Abbott's actions. The governors issued a joint statement expressing support for Texas "utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border."
