The Biden administration has filed an emergency appeal asking the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a lower court injunction that is blocking the federal government from removing razor wire that Texas set up along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter asylum seekers.
Last fall, at the order of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas placed 29 miles of razor wire along the Texas side of the Rio Grande River in order to deter migrants from crossing into the state from Mexico - an action that is likely in violation of international law and which has resulted in numerous migrants being injured.
