Amy Howe on SCOTUSBlog “[t]he Biden administration came to the Supreme Court [today], asking the justices to block an order by a federal appeals court that generally bars federal Border Patrol agents from cutting or moving razor wire installed by Texas along a portion of the U.S.-Mexico border. . . .  U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the justices that the order by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has `serious on-the-ground consequences’ because it prevents Border Patrol agents from reaching and apprehending migrants who have already entered the United States.”

Here is the SG’s brief.
