"Mexico Reports Body Found in Rio Grande Floating Barrier, Near Texas"

A body has been discovered stuck in a floating barrier installed by Texas authorities in the Rio Grande river on the US-Mexico border, raising concerns about the safety of migrants attempting to cross. The Texas government installed the barrier in July to deter illegal immigration, but Mexico has expressed concerns about the impact on migrants' human rights and personal security. The Mexican foreign ministry has sent two diplomatic letters to the US, stating that the barrier violates a water treaty and may encroach on Mexican territory. The US justice department has also sued Texas, arguing that the buoys pose threats to navigation, public safety, and humanitarian concerns.
