Biden’s corrupt Justice Department is demanding that Texas Governor Greg Abbott remove a floating barrier in the Rio Grande that is stopping illegals from crossing into Eagle Pass, Texas.

He has until 1PM Central today to remove the barriers or they will file legal action against him:

Here’s more from Town Hall:

The state of Texas has installed barriers in the Rio Grande in areas where illegal crossings continue to be a major issue, particularly around the city of Eagle Pass. The water barriers are the latest attempt by Texas to deter illegal crossings while the Biden administration has done little to deter people beyond funneling people through the CBP One app.

The Department of Justice sent a letter to Governor Greg Abbott demanding the removal of the river barriers. If they are not removed, then the DOJ will take legal action.

“We write to inform you … that the United States intends to file legal action in relation to the State of Texas’s unlawful construction of a floating barrier in the Rio Grande River,” the Justice Department said in a letter sent to Abbott’s office on Thursday. The department gave the state until 1 p.m. Central on Monday to avoid legal action by responding with a commitment to remove the barrier.

“The State of Texas’s actions violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risks to public safety and the environment, and may interfere with the federal government’s ability to carry out its official duties,” said the letter, which was signed by Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim and Jaime Esparza, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, according to the Texas Tribune.

Abbott is resolute and refusing to remove the barriers, saying Texas has the sovereign authority to defend their border. He welcomes the lawsuit and says “We will see you in court, Mr. President.”
