SCOTUS greenlights Biden’s illegal alien invasion pending a final decision White House lawsuit against the Lone Star State.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal agents are allowed to cut down the razor wire installed along the Texas border.
The Court in a 5-4 ruling will allow Border Patrol agents to cut the concertina wire barriers that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) ordered to be installed along the state’s border in response to the massive numbers of illegal aliens crossing into the U.S. due to Joe Biden’s open border policies.
Justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts voted in favor of Biden along with liberal Justices Sonya Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
The decision will remain in effect pending a final ruling on Biden’s lawsuit against the State of Texas.

Gov. Greg Abbott launched a controversial state-led, border security effort called “Operation Lone Star” in 2021. Since then, Texas has installed razor wire, a floating barrier in the Rio Grande, and added thousands of Texas state troopers and National Guard soldiers to patrol parts of the state’s 1,254 mile long border with Mexico.
Earlier this month, the Biden administration turned to the Supreme Court over the installation of razor wire on the northern banks of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass. That came after the state sued the administration in October, claiming federal agents were destroying state property and preventing Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety officers from securing the border.
A federal judge ruled in the Biden administration’s favor, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals later decided the judge misunderstood a law that spells out what the federal government can be sued for.
The Department of Homeland Security argued in a memo supplemented with their lawsuit last week that the razor wire makes it more difficult to allow illegal aliens to enter the country.
That’s the entire point!
We are not a serious country anymore.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin noted that Texas National Guard will have to allow Border Patrol agents into the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass for them to begin cutting the razor wire, “potentially setting up a significant state vs federal showdown if push comes to shove.”
The majority of the razor wire is deployed in the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass – city owned property that the state of TX recently seized control of with armed soldiers – and kicked the federal government out.
In order to remove the wire, TX has to allow Border Patrol back in.…

This comes as a coalition of concerned Americans from across the nation announced a massive convoy would travel to major border cities in Arizona, California and Texas to raise awareness about Biden’s open border policies and the drug trafficking and human smuggling they’re facilitating therein.
