GOP Rep Urges Texas To Defy Supreme Court Ruling As State National Guard Rolls Out More Border Razor Wire

The Hill reports:

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) called on Texas officials to ignore the recent Supreme Court ruling declaring the federal government could remove razor wire on the U.S.-Mexico border.

“They have a duty under the Constitution … and every other norm of leadership of any sovereign state, to protect your citizens, period, full stop. There is no exception to that,” Roy told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

“And if the Supreme Court wants to ignore that truth, which a slim majority did, Texas still had the duty, Texas leaders still have the duty, to defend their people.”

The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass.
