Abbott is violating the current law. SCOTUS only rules on constitutionality, so all they can say is that the feds can remove the wire constitutionally. But Abbott is preventing BP agents from accessing people on US soil so that they can submit asylum claims. That is illegal. He should be tossed in federal prison. - 1pg
There are two misconceptions embedded in you statement.
First, the wire. Under the SCOTUS ruling, as you say, BP is allowed to remove it, Texas is allowed to put it up. So under those terms, Abbott and the BP have agreed that 1) BP has no intention of wholesale removal and 2) BP can cut the wire as necessary to conduct rescue operations.
Now as far as Shelby Park is concerned, there is a dispute over whether this is federal land or state land. The Biden admin says there is some prior agreement or easement or something, and Texas says prove it and so far the feds haven't. You may not realize the extent the Feds had taken over that park. It was a full scale processing center, multiple big tents, hundred of personnel, high fencing around some of it, lots of vehicles coming and going at all hours. None of that is necessary now that Abbott's border wall has reduced and average of thousands a day crossing into Shelby Park to three (three, not a typo).
It is not obvious to me anyway that a crime is being committed.
