The Department of Justice is suing Governor Abbott for the installation of the border buoys going into parts of the Rio Grande.
Yeah. It's just it's kind of astounding to see the administration take the position that while they refuse to do almost anything of substance to deter, repel illegal immigrants from crossing the border at great risk to themselves and to those border communities, that they would sue a state that is trying to protect its citizens. You know, this is a crisis. It's an emergency. There's an emergency declaration that the governor has put in place.
Well, I think the important thing is to look at what the lawsuit is, right? The lawsuit has to do with the boys and the razor wire that has caused, by the way, harm to people who are at the border. Also, these devices are 1000 feet from a border that is more than a thousand miles. They really aren't very effective at deterring, especially when there are so many troops down at the border already.
Yeah. So it's been filed in the western district of Texas at the federal level. I presume the losing side would appeal to the Fifth Circuit, and then it could get appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, as the governor said just in the last 24 hours. So it's going to get argued. I think to me, it's a question it's a question of a couple of different things.
