Texas Deploys Buoy Barrier in Rio Grande, Facing Lawsuit and Safety Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Texas has deployed a buoy barrier in the Rio Grande as part of Governor Greg Abbott's anti-immigration agenda to deter migrant crossings. The barrier, consisting of hundreds of orange buoys, is being placed in the middle of the river, along with existing measures such as razor wire and cargo ship containers. However, the deployment of the buoys may violate treaties between the US and Mexico, and a lawsuit has been filed to stop their installation.
