Texas Governor and Biden Head to Court in Showdown over Floating Border Barrier
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott over the installation of a floating barrier on the Rio Grande, which is intended to prevent migrants from crossing into the US from Mexico. The lawsuit claims that Texas unlawfully installed the barrier without permission and raises humanitarian and environmental concerns. This is part of Texas' escalating border security operation, which includes razor-wire fencing and sending asylum-seekers to Democratic-led cities in other states. The White House has criticized Texas' operation, and Vice President Kamala Harris plans to visit the US-Mexico border on Friday.
