Story
Texas Wins Court Ruling to Keep Border Buoys in Rio Grande at Eagle Pass
Jul 31, 2024, 01:27 AM
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Texas can maintain its floating river barrier in the Rio Grande, a significant victory for Governor Greg Abbott against the Biden Administration. The ruling reverses a previous injunction that had been granted by a federal judge and affirmed by a three-judge panel in 2023. The barrier, which was installed last year in Eagle Pass, is intended to prevent illegal crossings at the Texas-Mexico border. The court found that the federal district court had abused its discretion in ordering the removal of the buoys. This decision is seen as a major win for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and has prompted calls for the deployment of additional barriers. The ruling came shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris discussed her immigration record.
