There was no insurrection.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday issued a temporary order limiting
the Biden administration’s authority to remove barbed wire erected
by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the state’s effort
to deter migrants from crossing into the United States.
Texas has been sparring with the federal government on several
fronts over border control and had appealed a lower-court ruling in
November allowing federal agents to cut the wire.
In its order on Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit in New Orleans said that while the court was weighing the
appeal by Texas, the federal government could not cut the concertina
wire barrier that the state had placed along the Rio Grande.
“Defendants are enjoined during the pendency of this appeal from
damaging, destroying or otherwise interfering with Texas’ c-wire
fence,” the panel of judges wrote, referring to about 30 miles of
concertina wire placed near the border city of Eagle Pass, Texas.
But the order does allow agents from the U.S. Border Patrol to cut
the wire in the event of a medical emergency — an exception that
addresses the federal government’s concern that the barrier could
make it difficult to render first aid to injured or ill migrants.
Fuck 'em. They are invading a sovereign nation and should be
killed.
