Governor Abbott defiantly responds to DOJ’s request to remove Rio Grande barrier.

Governor Greg Abbott Vows to Defend Texas’ Border Barrier in Court

Governor Greg⁣ Abbott (R-TX)⁣ has declared ‍that he will take the Biden‌ administration to court after the Department ⁤of Justice demanded the removal of a floating barrier recently⁢ erected ‍in the Rio⁢ Grande.⁤ This‌ barrier was intended⁢ to stem the tide of illegal aliens pouring into​ the U.S. from Mexico.

The Department ‍of Justice claims that the barrier violates federal law by obstructing ⁣U.S. waters without ‍authorization. They are demanding that ⁢Texas remove the‌ barrier at the state’s expense.

In response, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ‍criticized⁤ Abbott’s⁢ actions, ⁤calling them⁤ dangerous, unlawful, and detrimental to the process ‌of addressing illegal​ immigration. She ‍accused Abbott of ​engaging in political stunts and lacking​ good faith ⁣in​ his ​criticisms⁣ of the administration.

Abbott, however, defended Texas’ actions ‌during an interview with Bret ​Baier ⁣on Fox News. He emphasized that it ⁤is in the ​public‍ interest for Texas ​to safeguard and secure‍ its border ⁣from illegal entry. ⁤He also ⁤argued that the statute cited by the Department of Justice ​does not apply ⁤to‍ Texas’ use ⁤of⁤ buoys as it is not in violation of⁤ the law.

Texas plans to litigate the case in ‍federal district‌ court, and if necessary, appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court ⁤of Appeals and the United⁢ States‍ Supreme Court. Abbott⁢ emphasized‌ that Texas is defending its sovereignty and constitutional right to secure its border.

The buoy barriers, which⁣ have ​been placed in the Rio ‌Grande ⁣near Eagle Pass, serve⁣ as a deterrent for illegal immigrants attempting to cross into the U.S. These 4-foot-wide orange spherical buoys spin if someone tries to​ grab‌ onto them, as reported by ⁤the‍ New York ⁤Post. The barrier can be ‍adjusted or extended as needed.

This initiative is part of Texas’ “Operation⁢ Lone Star,” which aims to‍ combat the consequences⁢ of President Joe ​Biden’s immigration policies.
