Texas Defies Supreme Court on Border Control, Biden Pledges Shutdown

As Governor Abbott blocks federal agents from removing border wire, Biden promises to 'shut down the border right now' if given new powers, marking a significant political shift. However, Trump's opposition threatens to derail bipartisan efforts.

• Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been defying a Supreme Court ruling that allows federal agents to remove the razor wire that Texas state officials set up along the US/Mexico border. Abbott has blocked federal agents from entering the area and declared that the state's constitutional authority supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.
• 25 other states are supporting Texas in defying the Supreme Court, intensifying concerns about a constitutional crisis.
• President Joe Biden has promised to 'shut down the border right now' if given new powers by Congress, marking a significant political shift. This comes as part of a bipartisan deal to pair new border powers with additional military aid for Ukraine and Israel.
• Former President Donald Trump has opposed the bipartisan deal, insisting on keeping the border as a campaign issue. Trump's opposition has led many congressional Republicans to fall in line behind him.
• Senate negotiators are working on a national security spending bill that aims to fund Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and offer legislative solutions to slow the surge of migrants at the southern border. However, Trump's criticism and other GOP leaders' opposition threaten to derail these efforts.
