WASHINGTON (OSV News) — The U.S. Supreme Court Jan. 22 allowed Border Patrol agents to cut through or remove razor wire that Texas installed on a portion of the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the state’s effort to prevent illegal border crossings.
A closely divided court in a 5-4 vote sided with the Biden administration, granting their emergency request that argued the state of Texas unlawfully prevented federal agents from performing their duties as the wire deterred them as well as migrants. Migrants have been injured by the sharp wire, according to emails from state employees.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined with the justices who are perceived as the court’s liberal wing — Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor — siding with the Biden administration. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas sided with Texas.
Catholic immigration advocates have condemned the razor wire as inhumane.
