DOJ Threatens Lawsuit Over Texas Border Barrier

The Justice Department is giving Texas an ultimatum: Remove a floating barrier from the Rio Grande -- or be sued. The floating border barrier is made of large buoys anchored to the river bottom at an area called Eagle Pass. In a letter to Republican Governor Greg Abbott, the government says the barrier is illegal and that it poses serious risks to public safety and the environment. Abbott maintains that Texas has the right to defend its border.
