“Generally speaking, the federal government — not individual states — is charged with determining how and when to remove noncitizens for violating immigration laws,” the spokesperson said. 

“This is certainly extreme as we see it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized Tuesday. “And it is incredibly unfortunate.”

The tension between Texas and the administration was also on display Tuesday when a federal appeals court temporarily blocked the Biden administration from cutting razor wire set up by Texas earlier this year. The state had suedThe state sued in October and was turned down by a federal judge, but the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals barred the Biden administration from “damaging, destroying, or otherwise interfering with Texas’s [concertina wire] fence in the vicinity of Eagle Pass, Texas” unless it was for a medium

On Tuesday, the White House attacked Abbott over what it says are “political stunts.” 

“We believe that Gov. Abbott’s policies and political stunts are not safe, not safe for Texas communities and our CBP, our law enforcement on the ground, who are trying to do their work.
