The U.S. Supreme Court found that the U.S. Border Patrol could remove the razor wire that Texas installed along its border with Mexico.
From Mark Joseph Stern at Slate:
The vote was 5–4. Four dissenting justices would have allowed the state of Texas to nullify laws enacted by Congress, pursuant to its express constitutional authority over immigration, that direct federal law enforcement to intercept migrants crossing the border. These justices would have allowed Texas to edge ever closer to a violent clash between state and federal forces, deploying armed guardsmen and razor wire to block the president from faithfully executing the law.
