Texas argued for its constitutional right to self-defense under Article IV, § 4 and Article I, § 10, Clause 3, claiming the federal government failed to protect the state from invasion. They also alleged trespass and violations of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).

How did the Biden Administration respond to Texas's border security actions?

The Biden Administration, through the Department of Homeland Security, sought to have the entire case dismissed. They argued that Texas was unlikely to succeed on its claims and attempted to use the Supreme Court's order vacating the injunction as leverage.
