Texas Scores ‘Major Victory’ Over Biden Administration

Townhall

The 5^th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in Texas’s favor, lifting an injunction that ordered the state to remove buoys it placed in the Rio Grande River to deter illegal border crossings.

The Biden Department of Justice brought a legal challenge against the Lone Star State last year for installing the buoys without federal authorization. 

Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta claimed the floating barrier was a threat to navigation and presented a public safety concern. It also risked “damaging U.S. foreign policy” with Mexico over the country’s objection to the barrier. more
