Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, on Wednesday accused the federal government of breaching "the compact between the United States and the states" as relates to border security, The Hill reported.
His statement follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Border Patrol to cut or remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now," Abbott's statement read.
