Supreme Court Ruling on Border Barrier Sparks Calls for Texas Independence

Governor Abbott vows to continue border security efforts despite legal setback, as 'Texit' sentiment grows among Texans.

Following a Supreme Court decision allowing federal officials to cut or remove parts of a razor-wire barrier that Texas had erected along the border with Mexico, calls for Texas to declare independence from the United States are growing.
The Supreme Court's decision has sparked anger among Texans who support the measures taken by Republican Governor Greg Abbott to fight illegal immigration in the state.
Governor Abbott has vowed to continue fighting to secure the border, stating that 'this is not over' and that the razor wire is an effective deterrent to illegal crossings.
The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) issued a statement condemning the Supreme Court's ruling and is now urging Abbott to 'call an immediate special session to explore Texas independence.'
Despite rising calls for 'Texit,' the state cannot legally secede from the U.S., as it was established following the Civil War.
