Texas Tribune: U.S. Supreme Court says Texas can’t block federal agents from the border

Texas Tribune (1/22/24 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: The Supreme Court ruled ([link removed]) that federal agents can remove the razor wire ([link removed]) that Texas state officials have set up along parts of the US/Mexico border. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said ([link removed]) that “allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America.” Elite news media, for their part, suggest ([link removed]) we seek a hallowed middle ground between those two worldviews.

Corporate media are filled with debate about the best way to handle the “border crisis.” ([link removed]) But what if there isn’t a border crisis so much as an absence of historical understanding ([link removed]) , of empathy, of community resourcing, and of critical challenge to media and political narratives—including that reflected in President Joe Biden’s call ([link removed]) to allow access for “those who deserve to be here”?

We hear from Aron Thorn, senior staff attorney at the Beyond Borders ([link removed]) program of the Texas Civil Rights Project ([link removed]) .
