Story
Fifth Circuit Court Allows Texas to Maintain Floating Barrier in Rio Grande at Eagle Pass
Jul 31, 2024, 10:00 AM
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed an injunction against Texas' floating barrier in the Rio Grande, allowing the state to maintain the 1,000-foot (300 meters) long barrier aimed at deterring illegal migration at Eagle Pass. This decision marks a significant victory for Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton over the Biden Administration, which had sought to remove the barrier. The court's ruling found that the portion of the Rio Grande where the barrier is located is likely not navigable under federal law. The legal battle is not yet over, as a trial on the merits is still pending.
