The Biden administration has renewed its demands for Texas to grant U.S. Border Patrol agents access to a roughly 2.5-mile section of the U.S.-Mexico border. This follows the Supreme Court’s ruling that agents can remove the razor wire installed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, pending a legal challenge in court.
In a letter sent to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX) on Jan. 23, Jonathan Meyer, the chief lawyer for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), demanded that the state grant federal agents access to Shelby Park. Texas state authorities took control of the area earlier this month.
