"Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.”
-Governor Greg Abbott
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – The Office of the Governor earlier today issued a statement following the ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against Texas maintaining its sovereign authority to secure the border with floating marine barriers:
“Texas will appeal. Today’s court decision merely prolongs President Biden’s willful refusal to acknowledge that Texas is rightfully stepping up to do the job that he should have been doing all along.
"This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal.
"We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers.
"Our battle to defend Texas’ sovereign authority to protect lives from the chaos caused by President Biden’s open border policies has only begun.
"Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.”
