Texas Places Additional Buoys Along The Rio Grande

The buoys have previously been used as part of a state program to stop migrants from illegally crossing into Texas.

Shortly after President Trump was sworn into office, Texas placed additional buoys along the Rio Grande.

The buoys have previously been used as part of a state program to stop migrants from illegally crossing into Texas.

They have been part of a long time dispute between Texas and the Biden administration.

The federal government sued Texas in 2023 to get the floating barriers removed, claiming it violated federal law.

A district court initially sided with the Biden administration, but it was overruled by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In November, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the state would expand the length of the floating barriers in Eagle Pass. Monday, he posted video of the new buoys going into place.
