"US Rep. Castro and Democratic Delegation Raise Alarm Over Buoys Near Eagle Pass"

US Rep. Joaquin Castro led a Democratic delegation to Eagle Pass to assess the impact of Operation Lone Star and the recently installed buoys on the Rio Grande. Castro criticized Gov. Greg Abbott's treatment of migrants, calling it a "barbaric campaign of cruelty." The delegates expressed concern over the barriers, with Rep. Sylvia Garcia comparing them to traps for wild hogs. The Justice Department has sued Texas, seeking the removal of the buoys, which were installed without authorization. At least one person has been found dead and stuck on the south side of the barrier.
