The 5-4 vote clears the way for Border Patrol agents to cut or clear out concertina wire that Texas has put along the banks of the Rio Grande to deter migrants from entering the U.S. illegally. Some migrants have been injured by the sharp wire and the Justice Department has argued the barrier impedes the U.S. government’s ability to patrol the border, including coming to the aid of migrants in need of help.

I really wish the headline was more to the tune of “Supreme Court affirms federal government’s supremacy over the border.” The state has no jurisdiction on the matter and the Tres Locos running the show here are just drumming up bullshit headlines to campaign on.
