Republican lawmaker Rep. Tony Gonzales criticized the inhumane treatment of migrants at the southern border but did not blame Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the crisis. Gonzales called for action from Congress and stated that there is a disconnect between top officials and those on the ground. He condemned the treatment of migrants, including state troopers reportedly pushing them back into the water and denying them drinking water. While Gonzales defended the floating barrier wall approved by Abbott, critics argue that it is inhumane and poses a danger to public safety. Democratic lawmakers have also criticized the border policies as barbaric and dangerous for asylum-seekers.

Texas troopers have allegedly been ordered to push migrants back into the Rio Grande and deny them water, according to emails obtained by CNN. The emails detail concerns raised by a trooper-medic about the inhumane treatment of migrants along the border in Eagle Pass, Texas. The Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department are reportedly discussing potential action against Texas over Governor Greg Abbott's border operation. The trooper's email also described incidents of migrants suffering injuries, including a 4-year-old girl passing out from heat, a man with a laceration, a 15-year-old boy with a broken leg, and a 19-year-old woman having a miscarriage. The trooper called for changes to the operation's policies and expressed concerns about the casualty wire and the dangers it poses. The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Military Department denied the allegations, while the DHS called the report troubling and inhumane.
