Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd claimed that agents don’t want to cut down the barbed-wire fences on the Texas/Mexico border.
Judd appeared on Newsmax’s Saturday Report to respond to the Supreme Court ruling declaring the federal government has the constitutional power to remove barbed wire from the southern border of Texas. While Border Patrol has been instructed to take down the barbed wire, the Texas National Guard is continuing to install more wire, which Judd clarified is not in violation of the Supreme Court ruling.
“Now, let me be really, really clear. We do not like this ruling. We do not want to cut that razor wire,” Judd said, speaking as the head of the agents’ union. “There is not a Border Patrol agent out there that thinks it’s okay to cut that razor wire. Unfortunately, because of the Supreme Court ruling, it is — it becomes a lawful order.”
The Justice Department sued Texas for its various tactics to keep immigrants from illegally entering the United States. As a result of Texas bearing the brunt of the 302,000 people U.S. Customs and Border Protection processed more at the U.S.-Mexico border in December, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has sent roughly 100,000 migrants to various sanctuary cities.
Judd said he likes to see news coverage from those sanctuary cities. While he scoffed at the idea that Chicagoans sign up to house migrants in their homes, he did not offer a solution.

“All I want you to be able to do is make informed decision based off all of the facts,” Judd said. “The Biden administration refuses to tell the American people the truth, so they’re not able to make that informed decision. And that’s what democracy calls for.”
More than 10 million immigrants have reportedly entered the country illegally since Biden took office. It is the most recorded in that amount of time of any administration.
