Texas Scorecard by Will Biagini | June 7, 2024
“Texas made an outstanding case for our right to defend our State and protect our property from destruction by the federal government,” said Attorney General Paxton. State attorneys argued against the Biden administration in New Orleans Thursday in defense of Texas’ concertina wire fencing at the Texas-Mexico border.
Attorney General Ken Paxton released a statement detailing the progress made at the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals following yesterday’s arguments.
Paxton said, “We emphasized that a judge found that federal border officials destroyed our State’s property not to enforce federal law but rather to facilitate illegal border crossing.”
The attorney general’s statement also noted the Biden administration failed to be straightforward with the U.S. Supreme Court in reporting actions Texas took to increase border security.
