The U.S. Justice Department sues Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott over the Rio Grande barrier, alleging it was installed without necessary authorization, and obstructs navigation.
The lawsuit, filed in an Austin federal court, alleges the barrier was installed without necessary authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The lawsuit also alleges that the floating barrier obstructs navigation on the river and demands that the state remove the barrier. Abbott defended his decision to do so as the “commander-in-chief of our State’s militia” and blamed the Biden administration’s immigration policy for the conditions at the border.
