The state seeks to stop federal agents from cutting razor wire, which is used to deter illegal immigration along the southern border.

On 24 October 2023, the Attorney General of Texas filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration in response to federal agents cutting razor wire along the state’s southern border. The wire, which had been strategically placed in key areas as part of the state’s controversial immigration deterrent measures, is designed to prevent unlawful crossings. Texas officials argue that the federal government’s actions undermine the state’s efforts to control its own border security. The legal action comes amid growing tensions between state and federal authorities over immigration policies, with Texas pushing for stricter measures and the Biden administration seeking to address broader immigration reform.
