(FreePressBeacon.com) – In a notable victory for American patriots, a federal appeals court has decided to keep the Texas razor wire barrier at the U.S.-Mexico border amid the ongoing illegal immigrant invasion.
See a declaration by Texas GOP Governor Abbott on the matter in the tweet below!
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court’s decision, allowing Texas to protect its borders from federal interference.
This ruling resonates with those seeking robust state-driven border security.
The appeals court’s ruling blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to remove the razor wire barrier, calling it a significant victory for Texas.
This decision reaffirms the state’s right to protect its land from illegal crossings without federal intervention.
The installation of this wire is part of a broader strategy by Texas to take border security into its own hands.
Governor Greg Abbott praised the ruling and announced plans to continue fortifying the border with additional barriers.
“We continue adding more razor wire border barrier,” Abbott asserted, emphasizing Texas’s determination to secure the border.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has yet to comment on this development, leaving Texans further questioning federal priorities.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also backed the decision, having sued over the federal government’s attempts to remove the barrier, viewing their actions as an illegal destruction of state property.
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.”
His sentiments echo what many Texans believe is an undermining of their efforts by federal authorities.
However, not everyone agrees with this aggressive approach to border control.
Activist Amerika Garcia Grewal criticized the decision, calling the razor wire “a tool of war” and warning about the precedent of using excessive force.
Meanwhile, some migrants have reported injuries due to the wire, prompting justice department concerns about the dangers to migrants and its interference with federal border patrol efforts, KSAT 12 reports.
While tensions remain high, there’s a glimmer of diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Mexico, particularly involving discussions spearheaded by President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican leaders.
Reports suggest a productive dialogue focused on reducing migrant flows and addressing the fentanyl crisis, potentially easing some border tensions.
The decision comes as Texas continues its year-long effort to install razor wire along the 1,200-mile border.
According to NPR, Texas asserts that the federal government’s actions to cut these barriers actively undermine state border security initiatives.
Supporters of the MAGA movement may see this ruling as a clear defense of state rights over federal overreach.
MILES of razor wire barriers have been installed at the Texas-Mexico border to deter and repel illegal entry.
Despite the continued attacks and lawsuits by the Biden-Harris Administration, Texas refused to back down from protecting our state.
