Biden Admin Threatens To Sue Texas Over Barriers On Rio Grande Blocking Illegal Immigration
The Biden administration is asking Texas to remove barriers on the Rio Grande River that law enforcement officials had put in place to stop illegal crossings.
The Department of Justice is threatening to sue Texas over “Humanitarian concerns” if it does not remove the barriers, which were first put in place in July 2023.
“The floating barrier poses a risk to navigation, as well as public safety, in the Rio Grande River, and it presents humanitarian concerns,” the DOJ said, claiming that it was “Unlawful” for Texas to install the barriers.
“Texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution,” Abbott tweeted.
“We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President Biden earlier this year.”
“The tragic humanitarian crisis on the border was created because of Biden’s refusal to secure the border. His open border policies encourage migrants to risk their lives crossing illegally through the Rio Grande, instead of safely and legally over a bridge,” he added.
The buoy barriers have been placed in the Rio Grande to deter illegal immigrants from attempting to cross into the U.S. near Eagle Pass.
