AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) shows no signs of caving to the Biden administration following a Supreme Court decision that gave Border Patrol agents permission to slash state-installed razor wire at the border.

In what has been a two-week battle between state and federal government over which entity has authority over a 2.5-mile strip of Texas land, the Republican governor weighed in Wednesday afternoon with a lengthy statement that blatantly defied the Biden administration’s orders to stand down.
