After Texas deployed the barrier, a panel ordered it removed. The full appeals court says it can stay while a lower court hears a case on the merits.
The text of the decision was released by the court Tuesday evening, but then appeared to have been taken down shortly after. The federal government also alleged that the floating barrier obstructs navigation on the river, and demanded that the state remove the barrier.Abbott defended his decision to deploy the barrier as the “commander-in-chief of our State’s militia,” and he blamed the Biden administration’s immigration policy for the conditions at the border. Texas argued that the barrier was designed to direct migrants to appropriate entry points and deter unlawful crossings and drug smuggling.
