The Texas National Guard is installing razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Biden administration’s ability to cut through or remove the razor wire.
Texas officials remain resolute in their efforts to secure the border and deter unlawful entry, emphasizing the need to protect the state’s sovereignty.
Governor Greg Abbott reaffirmed Texas’s commitment to border security through Operation Lone Star, launched in response to the surge in illegal immigration due to Biden’s immigration policies.

“The Texas Military Department continues to hold the line in Shelby Park to deter and prevent unlawful entry into the State of Texas,” Texas stated. “We remain resolute in our actions to secure our border, preserve the rule of law, and protect the sovereignty of our State.”
“The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass,” Gov. Abbott said. “Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence.”
The state continues to use various measures, including razor wire and anti-climb barriers, to deter illegal border crossings and protect its sovereignty.
“The State of Texas, under Gov. @GregAbbott_TX ’s Operation Lone Star, will maintain its current posture in deterring illegal border crossings by utilizing effective border security measures – reinforced concertina wire & anti-climb barriers along the Rio Grande,” Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) spokesman Chris Olivarez stated.

“The logical concern should be why the Federal Government continues to hinder Texas’ ability to protect its border, all while allowing for the exploitation, dangerous, & inhumane methods of permitting illegal immigrants, including children, to illegally cross a dangerous river where many have lost their lives. Texas is the only state using every strategy & resource to protect its sovereignty, combat criminal activity, & discourage illegal immigration. #Texas will continue to hold the line.”
