Is this correct:

SCOTUS did not say Texas can’t put razor wire out, they just said the Feds can remove it?

The SCOTUS ruling was on an emergency appeal by Biden pending a case that will be heard later.

In this case, SCOTUS allowed Biden to continue to cut the wires while the appeal is in progress.

I thought that the courts usually prevent one party from continuing to be destructive to the other party while a case is pending. In this case, SCOTUS is letting Biden continue to tear down Texas border obstructions while the case works it way to SCOTUS.

It's like a court letting an abusive spouse continue to beat his wife while the divorce proceedings are in progress instead of approving the restraining order to keep away while the case is pending.

That is my reading of it too. SCOTUS said the BP has the authority to do essentially what they want on the border to do their job, but do not have the same authority to interfere with the actions of TX. Neither the BP nor TX can stop the other.

And whose to say that the Border Patrol will do anything to remove the wire anyway.
