Biden-Harris Admin Delays Trial Against Texas Border Buoys Until After Election
by Bob Price 6 Aug 2024
The Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Justice filed an unopposed motion to postpone a trial on its lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott over the placement of floating border barriers in the Rio Grande. The motion for a 60-day delay will likely move the trial date past the November 5 presidential election.
The motion for the delay in starting a trial followed a July 30 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which said Texas could keep its floating border barriers pending the outcome of a trial on the merits of the case. Following the en banc appeal, the court’s majority opinion overturned a lower court’s preliminary injunction and wrote, “We hold that the district court clearly erred in finding that the United States will likely prove that the barrier is in a navigable stretch of the Rio Grande. We cannot square the district court’s findings and conclusions with over a century’s worth of precedent.”
In the en banc decision made by 17 judges, the majority (ten judges) said Texas was likely to prevail in the lawsuit. The remaining seven judges said the federal government was likely to prevail, the Washington Examiner reported.
