Hearing on Texas’ floating barrier set for Tuesday
SUMMARY: Today, a federal judge is considering whether Texas can keep floating barriers in the Rio Grande to deter migrants from crossing the border. Governor Abbott ordered the installation of wrecking ball-sized buoys earlier this summer to discourage asylum seekers from swimming across the border. The White House sued, stating that Texas needs federal approval for the barrier. There are also allegations that the buoys have drifted into Mexico, violating its sovereignty. Governor Abbott pointed to Customs and Border Protection findings that show over 850 migrants died trying to cross the border in the 2022 fiscal year. His border mission, Operation Lone Star, is facing legal challenges. One filed by the Texas ACLU and the Texas Fair Defense Project represents four men arrested at the border who were allegedly held in jail for longer than necessary.
A federal judge will consider whether Texas can keep the floating barrier it installed in the Rio Grande. The barrier is Gov. Greg Abbott's latest hardline measure to deter migrants from crossing. #Texas #border #immigration
