A string of giant buoys that forms a floating border wall between Texas and Mexico continues to bob in the Rio Grande despite a new federal lawsuit.
Lt. Chris Olivarez with the Texas Department for Public Safety says they want to discourage illegal immigration between the ports in places where crossing the river has become dangerous. The wall is positioned near the town of Eagle Pass where four asylum-seekers drowned earlier this month. The Justice Department is suing, saying Texas did not get permission.
"Governor Abbott made it very clear that the marine barrier will not be removed, because we have the sovereign authority to protect our state," said Olivarez.
