According to a report from Just The News, Chief U.S. District Judge Alia Moses, in Del Rio, has ruled that the Biden Admin cannot interfere with, or destroy, Governor Greg Abbott’s temporary concertina wire fence installed by Texas to protect its border with Mexico.
“The Plaintiff preliminarily establishes that it would face irreparable harm without a temporary restraining order,” Moses declared in an 11-page decision.
“The Court shall grant the temporary relief requested, with one important exception for any medical emergency that mostly likely results in serious bodily injury or death to a person, absent any boats or other life-saving apparatus available to avoid such medical emergencies prior to reaching the concertina wire barrier,” the court added.
From Just The News:
The decision dealt a stinging rebuke to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and a win for states seeking to enforce border security on their own in the absence of help from the federal government.
More than 10 million immigrants have illegally entered the United States under President Joe Biden’s policies, federal data shows.
