The Department of Justice, ACLU of Texas challenge scheme
filed a lawsuit on Monday over prolonged detentions in two Texas counties. And that comes on top of the's lawsuit over the state's implementation of floating barriers, or buoys . That was filed in July and had its first hearing in Austin on Tuesday.
During a news conference prior to Tuesday's hearing, state Sen. Roland Gutierrez and residents from towns impacted by Operation Lone Star spoke against the governor's initiative and demanded that the Department of Justice take its lawsuit beyond just the buoy barriers."Let's be real clear. A thousand feet of buoys, well, that may not seem like a lot to those of you out there in the public listening," Gutierrez said."The fact is it pushes people into the deep water.
Some residents noted that, while border security is important, erecting barriers ignores the symbiotic nature of U.S. and Mexican border towns., speaking to her childhood memories of crossing the border to attend dance class. That's how she sees her hometown, but for outsiders in the time of Operation Lone Star, she said,"What you see is a destitute place that needs a barrier because that's what our governor told you.
“A thousand feet of buoys ... the fact is it pushes people into the deep water. It pushes women and children into the deep water.” The Abbott administration has continued to defend its implementation of the buoys."While I share the humanitarian concerns noted in your lawyers' letter, Mr. President, your finger points in the wrong direction. Neither of us wants to see another death in the Rio Grande River.
Operation Lone Star, which began in March 2021, has funneled billions of dollars toward a range of enforcement, including the detention of migrants on trespassing charges. The hasty creation of an entirely new arm of the criminal justice apparatus has led to the over-detention of some migrants, according to the second lawsuit.
