The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the state’s border with Mexico, where Texas officials have deployed miles of concertina wire.
The order did not explain justices’ decisions. For now, it effectively maintains long-standing court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security.
In October of last year, Texas sued the federal government after Border Patrol agents cut some of the wire strung along the Rio Grande, arguing DHS destroyed the state’s property and interfered in Texas’ border security efforts.
The 5-4 order from the Supreme Court vacated a previous injunction from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that prevented Border Patrol agents from cutting the concertina wire.
In recent weeks, Shelby Park in Eagle Pass has become the center of a standoff between Texas and the federal government over immigration enforcement. Most recently, Gov. Greg Abbott has ramped up border enforcement around the 47-acre park by surrounding the perimeter by the razor wire and limiting access to the city park.
No shit
A twofer today? I’m still wondering if Texas is just going to ignore the Supreme Court or not
5-4?
I feel that says more about the irrelevance and inadequacy of the Supreme Court than anything else.
This 5-4 decision proves SCOTUS is comprised of political hacks. This should have been a 9-0 decision. Our democracy hangs by a thread.
Bus schedule to sanctuary cities just doubled
Unexpected double barrel blast to Texas from the SuCo today
Revised headline: “5-4: Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Thomas unfamiliar with enumerated powers, supremacy clause of Constitution”
r/conservative openly calling for civil war over this…..🙄
But they did, and people died.
So, nothing? This country ain’t bout shit.
And now what will happen when they block federal agents anyway?
You know you don’t actually have to sue.
You could just move the federal agents in.
Guys I’m fucking terrified. This is fucking it man. It’s game over 100% if trump wins and 50/50 if he doesn’t.
Either way…if you’re currently an adult with kids…your fucking grandchildren are going to suffer a world we can’t imagine. So fucked when they don’t have to be. This election is their last chance.
I think some of these decisions are a calculation to have as many justices as possible not face criticism from the right wing for being “RINO judges.” This is kind of worse in a way.
> U.S. Supreme Court says Texas can’t block federal agents from the border
Of course they can.
5-4.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
What is Biden’s admin’s reasoning for wanting to remove these barriers Texas has put up?
And the Trump lawyers trembled. SC is not going to surrender its power.
Tune in next week for another episode of *American Migrant Warrior*!
Fuck Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas
whats actually insane about the ruling is that it was a 5-4 decision. honestly starting to think some of these justices want to just dismantle the federal government outright and put the US back to its condition pre-civil war.
like, you can ideologically argue for that, but if you get it theres no way that nation will be a superpower. And theres no way you can come to that conclusion if you’re an honest jurist
They will try anyway, and the Feds will be forced to arrest them, which will likely end in bloodshed.
I really do hope Texas decides to fuck around and have a standoff with the feds and military over this. It’s time they found out.
Hmmm. Let’s see if TX complies.
Now prosecute them for the negligence manslaughter of letting those immigrants die and not allowing them to intervene
Exactly, considering immigration is federal, and not left in the hands of clownboy the miscreant king of Texas.
If clownboy wants something done about it, then have clownboy tell his two stooges – Cruz and Cronyn – to do something about it. Not to mention the state representatives who spend more time gawking at Hunter Biden’s dick rather than doing their jobs…
Would be interesting if the Federal government could say it has ceded all responsibility for enforcing the border in Texas, as the state government has assumed those powers. This would include all funding, housing and legal liability.
Somehow I don’t think the Supreme Court would go 5-4 on that.
Wow, they don’t agree that the federal govt is in charge of our borders? 🤡 court.
5-4 Fucking scary
This isnt right
…ok so someone’s gotta explain to Thomas the opposite of this where california could kick out federal agents in a future potential trump admin trying to deport people. how this wasn’t a 9-0 decision for the fed is astonishing.

Funny how states far up north believe the border is wide open and illegals are just pouring in and this proves Biden is a feckless incompetent, meanwhile the state that actually possesses the border wants to stop Biden’s troops from doing something about it.
I sure fucking hope not.
My question is, will Texas actually care? We already KNEW they couldn’t do this legally…
Not saying they should do this, but hypothetically speaking, could Texas create their own border some distance from the actual border. So say 100 meters or a mile back from the border?
time to close down this hacked court
Get fucked,Abbott. I bow down to your tree nemesis.
Well the bias in this reporting is clear as day
What was the dissenting opinion?
It’s a sad day for texas
Civil war? National guard vs the feds?
Can we just give it back to Mexico?
As a non American, I say, go Texas! Tell those tyrants to bugger off! Declare independence and unshackle yourself from the yolk of your oppressors! Viva le revolucion! Eat rich people! Eat poor people. You can eat whoever you like ‘cause ain’t nobody the boss of you!
