- Texas built fence to try to stem illegal immigration
- Justices split on whether to throw out injunction
A divided US Supreme Court said the Biden administration can remove parts of a fence along the southern border built by Texas to try to stem illegal immigration.
In an order on Monday, the justices vacated a December ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that said the US Border Patrol could only cut down razor wire fencing along the Rio Grande in an emergency.
