Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's office is pushing back after Mexico tied the death of a migrant to the recently installed border barrier placed in the Rio Grande River.
says Mexico is"flat-out wrong" to tie the death of a migrant to a recently-installed floating border barrier on the Rio Grande -- amid objections to the barrier from both Mexico and the Biden administration.
"We reiterate the position of the Government of Mexico that the placement of wire buoys by the Texas authorities is a violation of our sovereignty," the foreign ministry said in a statement."We express our concern about the impact on the human rights and personal safety of migrants that these state policies will have, which run counter to the close collaboration between our country and the federal government of the United States.
"The Mexican government is flat-out wrong," spokesman Andrew Mahaleris told Fox News Digital."To be clear, preliminary information points to the drowning occurring before the body was even near the barriers. The Texas Department of Public Safety previously reported to Border Patrol the dead body floating upstream from the barriers in the Rio Grande.
