Texas' floating U.S-Mexico border barrier can remain, court rules in reversal
CBS ^ | 1/17/24 | staff

Posted on 01/17/2024 6:37:01 PM PST by CFW

A federal appeals court on Wednesday reversed an order requiring Texas to move a floating barrier on the Rio Grande that drew backlash from Mexico — the latest development in legal battles between the Biden administration and Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott over control of migration at the border.

In December, a divided panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had sided with a federal district judge in Texas who said the buoys must be moved. On Wednesday, the court vacated the panel's 2-1 ruling after a majority of its 17 active judges voted to rehear the case.

The series of linked, concrete-anchored buoys stretches roughly the length of three soccer fields. The state installed it along the international border with Mexico between the Texas border city of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

The barrier is one focal point in the legal disputes over border control between Democratic President Joe Biden and Abbott. The Biden administration also is fighting for the right to cut razor-wire fencing at the border and for access to a city park at the border that the state fenced off.

Which is the reason for a woke DEI military. Once upon a time the military would not fire upon civilians, but now they will threaten to cut off the military’s supply of cross sex hormones for the trannies and they will fall in line.

No such thing as “too much winning”. Too much whining, sure.

Please, President Biden. We’re tired of all this whining. Please. No more whining. Just accept your place in history as a corrupt, doddering POS.

The DU dummies also have no problem with open borders and can’t fathom why anyone would object.
