Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has appealed a judge’s decision to continue allowing Border Patrol agents to cut concertina wire intended to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the southern border.

“I am disappointed that the federal government’s blatant and disturbing efforts to subvert law and order at our State’s border with Mexico will be allowed to continue,” said Attorney General Paxton in a statement on Thursday. “[President Joe] Biden’s doctrine of open borders at any cost threatens the safety of our citizens, and we will continue to fight it every step of the way.”
