Federal Judge Orders Texas To Remove Floating Barriers on Rio Grande
(Worthy News) – A U.S. judge ordered Texas to move floating buoys that were placed in the middle of the Rio Grande to block migrants from illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a tentative win for President Joe Biden, whose administration sued the state.
U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra issued a preliminary injunction in Austin that requires Texas to relocate the buoys, currently near the city of Eagle Pass, to an embankment on the Texas side of the river. The Biden administration argued in a legal challenge that the barrier illegally disrupts navigation and was installed without permission from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The ruling is a setback for Texas governor Greg Abbott, a Republican who contends that Biden has been too lenient with border security as record numbers of migrants have been caught crossing illegally in recent years. [ Source: Washington Free Beacon (Read More…) ]
