Former President Donald Trump said that if elected, he will send Texas “reinforcements,” coming just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal agents are allowed to cut razor wire set up by Texas state officials along the U.S.–Mexico border.
“When I’m president, instead of trying to send Texas a restraining order, I will send them reinforcements,” President Trump told a crowd of supporters in Las Vegas on Jan 27. “Instead of fighting border states, I will use every resource tool and authority of the U.S. president to defend the United States of America from this horrible invasion that is taking place right now.”
