Biden Administration Pressures Texas to Remove Migrant Barriers in Rio Grande
- The Department of Justice asserts the barriers violate federal law and threaten public safety.
- Mexico has also objected to the barriers, citing violations of international treaties.
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott refuses to remove the barriers and is willing to defend them in court.
- The barriers were installed in July to deter illegal border crossings from Mexico into Texas.
- Some argue the barriers are needed due to the Biden administration's failure to secure the border.
