Supreme Court Gives Biden Administration A Win On The Border
In an emergency ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court said border patrol agents are allowed to remove razor wire on the southern border until the legal question is resolved. The vote was 5-4. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered sections of the border be lined with razor wire to stop undocumented immigrants; Texas sued the Biden administration to stop agents from cutting the wires. There have been reports of migrants drowning due to the barriers.
