Supreme Court justices handed President Joe Biden a win Monday by codifying his administration's right to remove razor wire and other barriers placed at the border by Texas state officials.

In the 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court agreed with the Biden administration's emergency request that stated Texas officials were preventing federal officials from carrying out their duties.

"The application to vacate injunction presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is granted," a majority of the court said.

The order added, "Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would deny the application to vacate injunction."

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) ordered the razor wire installed as part of his operations against illegal immigration.
