(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In a great win for conservatives, a federal appeals court has sided with Texas, ruling that Border Patrol agents have no right to cut Texas’s razor wire barrier at the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass.
See a recent announcement on the matter by Texas GOP Governor Abbott in the tweet below!
This decision marks a major victory for state sovereignty over federal overreach, especially in a time when border security remains a contentious issue.
The appeals court issued a 2-1 opinion reversing a lower court’s ruling, granting Texas a limited preliminary injunction.
This legal victory for Texas highlights the state’s commitment to securing its borders amid what some claim is federal neglect.
Texas’s border barriers have been seen as a practical solution in the face of increasing illegal crossings.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton celebrated the decision as a triumph over federal intrusion.
Ken Paxton stated, “It was shocking to me that the federal government would go out of their way to cut razor wire to allow illegals to cross when we’re just trying to protect our own land.”
“This wasn’t their land. This was our land, our private property. It had nothing due to the federal government. So this is a good win for Texas, a good win for the country, that this court recognized our ability to protect our land,” he added, cited by KSAT 12.
Paxton previously sued the Biden administration over what he described as the illegal destruction of state property by Border Patrol agents.
Such actions contributed to the state’s legal confrontation with federal authorities.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has remained notably silent following this ruling.
However, critiques continue. Amerika Garcia Grewal condemned the ruling, labeling the wire as “a tool of war” and advocating for more humane border management.
As the court ruling unfolds, tensions between state and federal perspectives stand at the forefront, The Texas Tribune reports.
Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to continue adding more razor wire to bolster Texas’s border defense.
Abbott’s stance exemplifies the dedication to maintaining border integrity despite opposition.
Citizens and leaders alike are monitoring the situation, anticipating further developments as the nation grapples with pressing immigration policies.
These razor wire installations have reduced illegal crossings significantly, a testament to the state’s proactive measures.
While some migrants have been injured by the razor wire, Texas claims that the federal government’s previous actions undermined its border security measures.
This decision further demonstrates Texas’s resolve to protect its citizens and uphold the rule of law.
As President-elect Donald Trump plans to return to office with a focus on immigration crackdown, this ruling may influence future federal policies.
America requires leaders who will enhance national security and uphold our Constitution.
Texas National Guard soldiers work together to install more razor wire barriers in Eagle Pass.
Razor wire and other border security strategies have contributed to a significant decrease in illegal border crossings in Texas—86%, to be exact.
