The Supreme Court on Monday granted the Biden administration’s request to allow the border patrol to remove Texas’ border wire.

The justices agreed 5-4 to vacate an injunction put in place by the Fifth Circuit that temporarily blocked border patrol from cutting the wire installed by the state while the lawsuit is pending. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh would have left the injunction in place, according to the order.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asked the justices in an emergency application in early January to freeze the order, arguing the wire prevents agents from accessing “the very border they are charged with patrolling and the individuals they are charged with apprehending and inspecting.” (RELATED: Border Patrol Agents Quietly Support Texas’ Move To Seize Area Of Border)
