According to CNN, the razor wire remains along the Texas-Mexico border as agents stand by to cut through the fencing for any life-saving actions.

Meanwhile, posts on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that Texas responded to the ruling by putting up more razor wire.

As of this writing, the Texas Military Department is continuing to "hold the line" in Shelby Park to prevent unlawful entry into the United States.
