WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson today released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against a lower-court order barring the Biden Administration from removing barriers at the U.S.-Mexico border:

 

“Today’s order underscores that keeping our southern border open to traffickers and cartels is part of a deliberate strategy by President Biden.

 

“For over three years, the President’s reckless policies have endangered Americans and devastated communities across Texas, like those I visited earlier this month.

 

“Governor Abbott is doing exactly what any leader must: taking action to protect his state’s sovereignty and his citizens’ security. Rather than providing federal help, the President is shamefully undermining these efforts. It is an outrage.”
