Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was dealt a blow in court on Wednesday when a judge sided with the Biden administration and ordered a floating border barrier to be temporarily removed.
Abbott had ordered the 1,000-foot line of buoys as a deterrent against illegal aliens seeking entry into the U.S. by wading or swimming across the Rio Grande.
“Governor Abbott announced that he was not ‘asking for permission’ for Operation Lone Star, the anti-immigration program under which Texas constructed the floating barrier,” wrote federal District Judge David A. Ezra in his ruling.
“Unfortunately for Texas, permission is exactly what federal law requires before installing obstructions in the nation’s navigable waters,” he added.
Illegal alien activists have called Abbott’s efforts to end illegal immigration inhumane and unjust.
“The buoys are a symbol of the hate-filled and inhumane policies Gov. Abbott has embraced as he continues to wage war on immigrants seeking to make better lives for themselves, as millions of other immigrants have done for hundreds of years in this country,” said activist Carolina Canizales.
