A senior Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official told Fox News<\/a> that there are \u201cno plans\u201d to remove razor wire along the southern border.<\/p>\n The official said border patrol has a \u201cstrong\u201d relationship with Texas.<\/p>\n BREAKING: A Senior CBP Official tells FOX:<\/p>\n “the relationship between Border Patrol, Texas DPS, & TMD remains strong\u2026 Bottom line: Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure (c-wire) placed by Texas along the border.
