It's some kind of pissing match with Texas trying to usurp federal control.
> Texas Department of Public Safety and National Guard officials began erecting fencing and razor wire around the riverfront Shelby Park Wednesday in Eagle Pass, the border crossing where thousands of migrants have arrived in recent months.
> Texas initiated the lawsuit against the Biden administration last year to prevent agents from removing or cutting the wire barriers, which the federal government says prevent the agents from reaching migrants who have already entered U.S. territory. Under U.S. immigration law, anyone who reaches U.S. soil has the right to seek asylum here.
So now Texas isn't letting the Feds access Eagle Pass, to cut the wire and reassert control, against the supreme court decision. Surprisingly it isn't Texas' job to do border control, and they probably added the barbed wire to just fuck people up cheaply. As with most retarded ideas (and this probably is one) it's for show.
Most surprising is no member of Texas' little group has killed themself accidentally on the barbed wire yet.
