Biden Administration Sues Texas Over Floating Border Barriers
- The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Texas and Governor Greg Abbott over the installation of floating barriers in the Rio Grande River.
- The DOJ claims the barriers were built without authorization and violate federal laws, raising concerns over navigation, public safety, the environment, and foreign policy.
- Abbott has refused to remove the barriers and vowed to defend Texas' sovereign right to secure the border, stating he will battle the administration in court.
- The White House has criticized Abbott's border tactics as dangerous, inhumane and counterproductive, while touting its own efforts in reducing illegal crossings.
- Mexico has also lodged complaints over the barriers, citing potential treaty violations, while immigrant advocates decry harsh treatment of migrants under Texas' Operation Lone Star.
