Federal Judge Issues 42-Page Ruling on Floating Border Barriers<\/a><\/p>\n

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the state of Texas to remove barriers from the Rio Grande, which Gov. Greg Abbott had put in place to deter migrants from entering his state illegally.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration filed a lawsuit against Abbott in July, arguing that he had failed to obtain the federal government\u2019s permission to place the buoys on the border between the U.S. and Mexico,\u00a0CBS News<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

In his 42-page preliminary injunction\u00a0order<\/a>, Judge David Ezra, a Ronald Reagan appointee, directed the state to remove the barriers from the river by Sept. 15.<\/p>\n

Ezra wrote that Abbott needed permission to place the floating barriers in the Rio Grande because they obstructed a U.S. navigable waterway in violation of federal law.<\/p>\n
