RELATEDJustice Dept. will sue Texas Gov. Abbott over floating barrier wall
The Department of Justice filed suit against the state of Texas after its governor refused to remove a floating border barrier that the Biden administration says was unlawfully put into place.
“We allege that Texas has flouted federal law by installing a barrier in the Rio Grande without obtaining the required federal authorization,” Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said in a statement. “This floating barrier poses threats to navigation and public safety and presents humanitarian concerns. Additionally, the presence of the floating barrier has prompted diplomatic protests by Mexico and risks damaging U.S. foreign policy.”
