Texas Celebrates Court Victory on $1.4 Billion Border Barrier, Biden to Continue Wall Construction
Aug 1, 2024, 04:48 PM
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are celebrating a significant court victory that allows the state to maintain a floating river barrier on the Mexico border. The barrier, consisting of a chain of orange buoys anchored to the riverbed, is part of Abbott's efforts to direct migrants to legal border crossings. This court decision is seen as a win for Texas Republicans, who have been pushing for stricter border controls. Additionally, the Biden administration has agreed to comply with a court order to continue the construction of the southwest border wall, using approximately $1.4 billion allocated by Congress. This decision marks a reversal from the administration's earlier attempts to halt the wall's construction. The victory is also part of Texas' historic border mission, Operation Lone Star.
