Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton say state efforts to reinforce the border with Mexico aren't over yet. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Biden administration could order the removal of razor wire barriers the state installed along the border. Homeland Security said the 29-mile stretch of fence along the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass made catching illegal immigrants more difficult. The Justice Department said it's the federal government's job to enforce the border. Abbott and Paxton both said the court's ruling won't be the last word on the issue.
