Videos shared on social media on August 8 provide a closer look at the floating border barrier installed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and aimed at keeping illegal migrants from entering the US. These controversial installations, near which a body was recently found, are equipped with spiky metal discs manufactured by Cochrane Global.
When Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on June 6, 2023, the deployment of a “floating marine barrier” to deter illegal crossings over the US-Mexico border, an important detail was left out: the ball-shaped orange buoys are equipped with “circular saws” that make it almost impossible to cross without risking injuries.
