Abbott moves ahead with floating border barriers on Rio Grande

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday announced that the Lone Star State is installing its marine barrier installation as part of its efforts to stop illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border.

“New marine barrier installation on the Rio Grande begins today. Texas DPS is overseeing the project in Eagle Pass. More to come,” the governor tweeted.

Abbott had announced the barrier, consisting of orange buoys and intended to discourage migrants from crossing the Rio Grande, last month. It is part of Operation Lone Star, a multifaceted operation to tackle the border crisis.
