*Attorney General Ken Paxton Files Motion for Temporary Restraining Order After Biden Administration Escalates Border Barrier Destruction *
?
AUSTIN ? Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion for a temporary restraining order on an emergency basis after federal agents escalated their destruction of Texas?s barrier at the State?s border with Mexico. The federal government?s renewed effort to destroy Texas?s barrier and assist aliens? entry into the country follows just days after Texas filed a lawsuit [ [link removed] ] against the Biden Administration?s Department of Homeland Security (?DHS?), DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and other agencies for numerous documented incidents of barrier destruction and occasions on which federal agents facilitated aliens? mass entry during a severe immigration surge in recent months.
?
Texas is seeking an order that would enjoin federal agents from cutting, destroying, damaging, or otherwise interfering with Texas?s concertina wire fence.
