'Texas to Biden: We will see you at SCOTUS,' Abbott said after opposing the Department of Justice preliminary injunction calling for the barriers to be removed.
Texas has installed a floating barrier containing circular saws between the wrecking ball-size buoys in the Rio Grande to deter migrants from crossing the border into the southern state.has sued Abbott over the barrier, saying that it violates federal law and raises humanitarian concerns for migrants crossing into the country from Mexico.
In its 300-page filing responding to the injunction, Abbott and Texas Attorney General's Office said that the buoys don't violate the Rivers and Harbors Act , as the DOJ said. It reads that the"segment of the river where the buoy system has been deployed is not navigable; even if it were, the buoy system does not decrease the navigable capacity of the river; and the buoy system is not a boom or other structure prohibited under the Act."Texas to Biden: We will see you at SCOTUS.
