Texas Gov. Greg Abbott stands firm against Biden administration's threat to sue over border barriers

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is defying the Biden administration's threat to sue the state over the floating barriers that were set up along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter migrant crossings. The Biden administration argues that the river barriers violate federal law and impede law enforcement, but Abbott argues that Texas is using its "constitutional authority" to combat unauthorized border crossings. Abbott's actions, including the deployment of state troopers and the Texas National Guard, have faced criticism for their treatment of migrants. The Justice Department has declined to comment on Abbott's response.
