She had to be cut out of the wire and miscarried soon after.

You don't know what a booby trap is. In Texas, where this happens, barbwire is a passive barrier, and not subject to booby trap laws.

It was hidden barbed wire. How are you not processing that?

The "hidden" claim is only by an anonymous witness reported by a bias source. Like even if the barbwire was hidden, what is the point of the article? That actually our border policy is fine, if only the barbwire fences were painted with high-vis?
