The government of Texas sued President Biden’s government because, according to them, they allowed border patrol agents to cut the barbed wire that Texas placed on its border with Mexico. They say this is bad because it destroys state property and makes it easier for people to cross the border illegally.
Texas’ lawyer, Ken Paxton, says this situation is not fair and that Texas has the right to protect its border in this way. That’s why he took the case to court to stop the feds from damaging private property.
But not everyone likes what Texas is doing. Some human rights advocates say that barbed wire and other barriers are dangerous for migrants. There were also problems with some buoys that Texas placed in the Rio Grande, but a judge said they had to remove them.
This court fight is just one of many between Texas and the Biden government on how to handle border security. While Texas wants to be stricter, the Biden government wants a more open immigration policy. So, it’s likely they will continue to have disagreements and discussions on this topic in the future.
