The Biden administration was ordered to stop cutting state-installed razor wire at Texas's border with Mexico.

Judge Alia Moses of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas ordered the Department of Homeland Security to cease "disassembling, degrading, [or] tampering" a razor wire barrier erected by the state of Texas along its border with Mexico. The lawsuit was brought forward last week by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who asked for an immediate injunction after DHS destroyed much of the barrier with a variety of means in order to allow illegal immigrants through.

Abbott contended the destruction of the wire had accelerated since Sept. 20, as shown by "pictures, video, and declarations from various officials associated with the Plaintiff" that "detail specific instances when the federal government allegedly damaged the Plaintiff’s property and consequently allowed migrants to enter."

"The Plaintiff raises numerous claims against the Defendants, including common law conversion, common law trespass to chattels, and Administrative Procedure Act violations," the judge's ruling read.

The injunction made one exception, however, in the case of "any medical emergency that mostly likely results in serious bodily injury or death to a person, absent any boats or other life-saving apparatus available to avoid such medical emergencies prior to reaching the concertina wire barrier."

In one case provided by Abbott, a Border Patrol agent used a forklift to destroy part of the wire in order to allow a large group of immigrants to enter.

Abbott and the DHS have been battling over border obstructions for months, with a major flashpoint being a buoy border erected across a section of the Rio Grande.
