AUSTIN, Texas — Texas’ installation of a razor wire fence, which has led to an increase in migrant injuries, and a floating border barrier along the Rio Grande violates international law, Mexican officials and experts said.
Gov. Greg Abbott has also openly touted that Texas is ignoring federal permitting requirements when placing any structure along waterways.
U.S.State Department officials said Texas repeatedly ignored requests for proper inspection of wiring and buoys to ensure they do not violate any international treaties.
