SUMMARY: The Justice Department has informed Governor Greg Abbott that Texas' use of razor wire and floating barriers to deter illegal migration across the Rio Grande is illegal. There have been reports of drownings and injuries to young migrants. Federal authorities may seek a court order to remove these obstructions. Congressional Democrats have expressed alarm at the injuries and urged President Joe Biden to stop Texas' efforts. They want Biden to assert his authority over federal immigration policy and investigate and pursue legal action against Governor Abbott's actions. Nearly 90 Democrats in the House, including all 13 Texans, have signed the letter.
