Federal border agents can remove the Rio Grande barrier razor wire installed by Texas at the border to Mexico, per the Supreme Court. This finding overturns the Fifth Circuit order that limited the government’s ability to remove the fencing. The court voted 5-4, approving the U.S. Department of Homeland Security application to vacate the order issued by the appellate court.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Border Patrol requested the judges hear the matter, urging them to approval the removal of the Rio Grande barrier. The fence, estimated at 29 miles long, was installed by Texas to deter migrants from entering the U.S. at the southern border.
