Mexico City, September 7 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday ordered Texas Governor Greg Abbott to remove his dangerous floating border barrier in the Rio Grande. 

The U.S. Justice Department sued over the barrier in July, which has been implicated in at least two migrant deaths and many more injuries.  The buoys are separated by circular saw blades along a 1,000-foot-long line.  Governor Abbott has already appealed the order. 

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center called the buoys “a symbol of the hate-filled and inhumane policies.

Gov. Abbott has embraced as he continues to wage war on immigrants … the beautiful Rio Grande River has been turned into a militarized zone.”
