It’s never been made clear why apparent drowning fetishist Greg Abbott feels the need to erect potentially deadly barriers in the river if Trump’s border wall is as effective as Republicans claimed, but anyway… The US Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas and its Republican governor for installing a series of buoys reportedly covered in and connected by razor wire in a section of the Rio Grande to deter migrants from crossing, Politico reports.
The lawsuit alleged Abbott’s stunt–which has reportedly led to the hospitalization of many migrants, including children–violated various laws including constructing an illegal structure in a US waterway.
