Weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration on allowing federal agents to cut Texas-installed razor wire along the border, Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to expand his razor-wire fencing efforts.

The Republican governor has set up the fencing near Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, leading to a legal dispute between his administration and the White House. Last month, the U.S. high court handed down a ruling that allowed federal agents to remove the wire as the appeals process plays out.
