SUMMARY: The ongoing political fight over the broken immigration system has led to a dispute over a floating barrier in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass. The barrier, designed to redirect migrants attempting to cross the border, was recently moved closer to the Texas side of the river in response to claims that part of it was on the Mexican side. Attorneys with the Department of Justice were in Austin requesting an injunction to stop construction of the system. Supporters of the lawsuit argued that all of the buoys should be removed, calling for humane solutions to address the issue. The compliance officer with the Army Corps of Engineers testified that the state did not obtain a permit for the floating barrier and that it violated the federal Rivers and Harbor Act. Governor Greg Abbott defended his border strategy, stating that 25 governors in 25 states were banding together to secure the border. The judge in the case asked questions about the security and movability of the buoys, ultimately requesting written closing arguments.

Another skirmish in the border battle between the Biden administration and Gov. Abbott took place in an Austin courtroom. There was a hearing about the buoy barrier system on the Rio Grande, and whether it violates a federal law involving navigation.

SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center’s 7 a.m. advisory reports that the hurricane remains a Category 3 with 120 mph winds, impacting the Cayman Islands, where hurricane warnings are in effect. The storm, though downgraded from Category 4, is still powerful. It is expected to make landfall south of Cancun early tomorrow as potentially a Category 1 hurricane, then move across the Yucatan into the southern Gulf of Mexico. A second landfall is likely south of Brownsville, near the Mexico-South Texas border, early Monday. Long-range models suggest the storm could eventually impact parts of Central and North Texas.

Hurricane Beryl was dropped to a Category 3 hurricane, but it is still a dangerous storm. FOX 4 meteorologist Kylie Capps shows the storms latest track, including the increasing chances that it will make landfall in Texas.
