EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — A group of Texas Democrats is urging the White House to look into Gov. Greg Abbott’s use of floating aquatic barriers on the Rio Grande, calling it “yet another dangerous stunt.”
Abbott announced Friday that the large orange buoys had arrived in Eagle Pass, Texas, and installation would begin immediately, adding that the Texas Department of Public Safety was overseeing the project.
On Monday, a DPS spokesman told Border Report that concrete was being laid on the riverbed of the Rio Grande to anchor a 1,000-foot-long string of giant orange buoys.
