A reporter questioned whether Texas border wire broke any laws during a White House press briefing on Wednesday, drawing attention to it.
The White House harshly blasted the fence but did not state that it was unlawful. The administration’s discomfort was made clear by press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s stern response to the query.
