Texas Governor Greg Abbott accused the Biden administration of recently cutting barbed wire that the Lone Star State had installed in Eagle Pass.
The comments were made as Texas officials continue arguing with the White House over the immigration crisis at the southern border.
Abbott made the announcement Wednesday night.
“Texas installed barbed wire at Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings”. Abbott explained in X, formerly known as Twitter. “Today the Biden administration CUT that cable, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.”
“I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings and install more razor wire,” the Republican governor added.
The governor later posted a photo of a letter he sent directly to President Biden in November and declared that the president’s policies led to “an invasion on our border.”

“We are building a border wall, barbed wire and sea barriers,” Abbott wrote. “We are also repelling immigrants.”
In July, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Texas for installing a buoy barrier, designed to curb illegal immigration, in the Rio Grande.
The barrier was developed as part of Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.
In the lawsuit, the Justice Department claimed that the barrier obstructed “the navigable capacity of the waters of the United States” and raised humanitarian, environmental and public safety concerns.

A federal judge initially told Texas to move the buoys, but the U.S. Court of Appeals stayed that decision. The case is still being deliberated in court.
Fox News Digital reached out to Abbott and the White House but did not receive a response.
