The Department of Justice on Monday announced a lawsuit against the state of Texas and its governor, Greg Abbott (R), over the use of a 1,000-foot chain of orange buoys along the Rio Grande intended to stop migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
installation of a 1,000-foot chain of orange buoys earlier this month at a busy area for illegal crossings near Eagle Pass, Tex. The barrier is one component of “Operation Lone Star,” Abbott’s $4 billion campaign to bus migrants to northern U.S. cities while deploying Texas state police officers and National Guard troops to the border. Texas officials have lined the Rio Grande’s banks with new obstacles to the migrants, including stacked shipping containers and thickets of concertina wire.
In a response letter addressed to the president, Abbott asserted that Biden was not fully enforcing immigration laws,a tweet from an interview with Fox News, during which Abbott said he is prepared to take the issue all the way to the Supreme Court. “Governor Abbott is making it harder for the men and women of the Border Patrol [with] what he’s doing. … He’s literally operating in bad faith. That’s what this governor is doing while we’re trying to fix and deal with an issue, a broken system, an immigration system that has [been] broken for decades. And he’s undermining it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday afternoon.
