Texas placed more buoys in the Rio Grande River on Wednesday, Governor Greg Abbott announced on X. The governor posted a video showing crews installing the floating barriers, saying the state was on a "mission to deter and repel illegal immigration."
"Despite the Biden-Harris Administration's attempts to shut down our border security efforts, the buoys are here to stay," he wrote. The buoy barriers are expected to be placed in heavy crossing areas near Shelby Park and Eagle Pass.
