• The Supreme Court cleared the way for federal agents to cut through barbed wire that Texas put up along the southern border.
• Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett sided with the court's 3 liberals in the 5-4 decision.
• It's a huge win for the Biden administration in its border fight with Texas.

Two of the Supreme Court's conservative justices just handed Joe Biden a major win at the southern border.

The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for US Border Patrol officials to cut through razor-wire fencing that Texas put up along the Rio Grande River.

The 5-4 ruling is a huge win for the Biden administration, with Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett splitting with the court's other conservatives and siding with liberal justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
