🚨The Biden administration has filed a lawsuit against Texas over floating barriers in the Rio Grande. They argue that these floating barriers endanger migrants and Border Patrol agents, violating federal law that governs structures in navigable waterways.

The Justice Department claims Texas needed federal permission before setting up the barriers. The lawsuit aims to remove the existing buoys and prevent similar barriers in the future.

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas defends the state’s actions, welcoming a legal battle, stating, “See you in court, Mr. President.”

This is part of Operation Lone Star, a larger initiative to reduce unauthorized crossings at the U.S. southern border. However, it has raised concerns about how migrants are treated.
