états-unis: la cour suprême autorise le retrait des barbelés à la frontière mexicaine

Des barbelés à la frontière entre les États-Unis et le Mexique, décembre 2023

La question migratoire est toujours un sujet de fortes tensions aux États-Unis. La Cour suprême des Etats-Unis a autorisé lundi l’administration du président Joe Biden à retirer des barbelés installés par le gouverneur républicain du Texas, Greg Abbott, à la frontière avec le Mexique.

Partisan déclaré de Donald Trump, qui a fait de la lutte contre l’immigration un des principaux thèmes de sa campagne électorale, le gouverneur défie ouvertement l’autorité de l’administration Biden, la taxant d'”inaction délibérée” face à un afflux record de migrants à la frontière ces derniers mois.

Imbroglio judiciaire

En décembre, une cour d’appel fédérale a interdit à la police fédérale des frontières de retirer ou démanteler les barbelés installés par les autorités du Texas près de la localité frontalière d’Eagle Pass, sauf exception justifiée par une urgence médicale.

Le ministère de la Justice a saisi la Cour suprême début janvier pour obtenir l’annulation de cette interdiction en attendant un jugement au fond et la Cour a fait droit lundi à cette demande par cinq voix, dont celle de son président, John Roberts, contre quatre.

Quatre des six membres de la majorité conservatrice ont voté contre cette décision mais n’ont pas motivé leur désaccord.

Par ailleurs, la prise de contrôle depuis le 11 janvier par la Garde nationale du Texas d’un parc municipal à Eagle Pass bordant le Rio Grande a suscité une polémique entre l’administration Biden et le gouverneur.

Le ministère de la Justice accuse le gouverneur d’empêcher ainsi la police fédérale des frontières d’accomplir sa mission en “bloquant son accès à la frontière même en cas d’urgence” sur environ 3,7 km le long du fleuve, ce que les autorités texanes contestent.
