The Justice Department warned officials in Texas on Thursday that the federal government will sue the state unless it removes border barriers it recently set up in the middle of the Rio Grande to repel migrants from entering the U.S.
letter
Buoy barriers are installed and situated in the middle of the Rio Grande river on July 18, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas.about the barriers diverting migrants, including children, into parts of the Rio Grande where they are more likely to drown. The internal complaint also raised other concerns about Texas' broader border initiative, known as Operation Lone Star. The trooper described migrants being cut by razor wire set by the state and directives to push families back into the Rio Grande.
Once migrants are on the U.S. side of the border — which, in Texas, falls in the middle of the Rio Grande — federal law requires Border Patrol officials to process them and decide whether they should be deported, transferred to another agency, detained or released. The law also requires federal officials to review the asylum claims of those who ask for refuge. State officials are not authorized to enforce these laws.
