These buoys were built on the Rio Grande River. It is located on the border between the US and Mexico.

The US government has taken legal action against the state of Texas over a sensational measure against migrants. The Justice Department announced Monday that it has filed a civil lawsuit against the installation of a floating barrier on the Rio Grande River.

Conservative Republican Governor Greg Abbott had arranged for orange-red buoys the size of wrecking balls to be placed several hundred feet along the waterline from Mexico to Texas. This is to prevent people from swimming to American territory via the Rio Grande.

White House speaks of “political stunt”

Prosecutor Vanita Gupta argued that the Texas government had broken the law by failing to obtain Washington’s approval of the barrier. In addition, it poses a threat to shipping and public safety and has prompted a diplomatic note of protest from the Mexican government.

The Ministry of Justice wants to use the lawsuit to have the shackles broken. The White House described Governor Abbott’s actions as a “political stunt”. The Biden administration stressed that the number of illegal border crossings was the lowest in two years.
