DOJ sued Texas over the buoy barriers placed in the Rio Grande, contending the federal government should have been consulted, and that the buoys are “offensive' to the Mexican government.
National Border Patrol Council Vice President Chris Cabrera tells ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ that most agents are ‘proud’ of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border control efforts despite the legal action.of attorneys for the state of Texas on Tuesday was portrayed in the media as a loss for Gov. Greg Abbott and his border-securing Operation Lone Star.
Migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico walk along large buoys being used as a floating border barrier on the Rio Grande on Aug. 1, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas. And while the central premise of the federal government’s case was that it had regulatory authority over the Rio Grande as a navigable waterway, DOJ lawyers failed to prove it’s navigable .In a Tuesday hearing, U.S. District Judge David A. Ezra appeared uninterested in evidence that the Biden administration has abandoned the southern U.S. border and ceded control to the criminal cartels.
"This is a United States District Court. It is not Congress. It is not the president," Ezra said."I’m not here to engage in nor do I have any inclination to engage in any type of political comment in this decision."That’s not a loss; that’s a win for Texas’ case – because legally, Texas by itself has the power and the duty to defend its citizens when the federal government cannot or will not. Taking politics out of the equation is exactly what Texas needs.
The state bases its actions in Operation Lone Star, in part, on Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution – the compact clause – which provides, in part, that"No State shall, without the consent of Congress… engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay."
