Judge: No Room For Politics In Border Buoy Case

The federal judge presiding over the case of the buoy barrier stated on Tuesday that there's no room for politics in the hearings. Senior U.S. Judge David Alan Ezra is to decide whether the buoys floating as a border barrier in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass should be removed pending the outcome of the federal government's lawsuit against Gov. Greg Abbott. Abbott and the state insist he has the authority to place the barrier in response to the "invasion" of illegal immigrants. The Justice Department says it's a violation of federal law.
