DOJ Challenges Texas' Aggressive Immigration Measures

The Biden administration has warned Texas that its use of razor wire and floating barriers to deter migrants from crossing the Rio Grande is illegal and must be removed. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has defiantly insisted that the state is within its rights and vowed to defend its efforts, stating that Texas has the sovereign authority to defend its border. The Justice Department has given Texas officials until Monday to commit to removing the floating barrier, or legal action will be taken. Congressional Democrats have expressed alarm at reports of injuries and mistreatment, urging President Biden to halt Texas' border security efforts.
