SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is threatening to sue the state of Texas over its installation of a floating border barrier in the Rio Grande, considering it illegal. Democrats have been pressuring the Biden administration to take legal action against Texas. Governor Abbott responded on Twitter, stating “we will see you in court”. The floating barrier is about three football fields long. Constitutional law attorney David Cole believes the federal government has a strong case, as immigration is traditionally a federal concern. Governor Abbott maintains that Texas has the sovereign authority to defend its border under the US and Texas Constitution.

The Justice Department has told Texas that a floating barrier of wrecking ball-sized buoys the state put on the Rio Grande violates federal law and raises humanitarian concerns for migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico.

SUMMARY: Avery Anderson, elected at 19, faced numerous issues during his tenure, including failing to send jury summons, subpoenas, and protective orders. Attorneys Khloe Love and Thomas filed a lawsuit to remove him in September 2023, citing widespread concerns about his competence. In February, a judge found Anderson incompetent. A hearing was held last month to consider his temporary removal, but Anderson resigned instead, avoiding a potentially embarrassing trial. He denied incompetence in his resignation letter, attributing his errors to inexperience. District Attorney Kelly Higgins welcomed the resignation, anticipating better collaboration moving forward. Angela Shen reported for Fox 7 Austin .
