Texas ordered to remove floating Rio Grande barriers
Washington Examiner ^ | 1 December 2023 | Kaelan Deese

Posted on 12/02/2023 5:31:13 AM PST by Sam77

Texas must remove a floating barrier it placed at the Rio Grande to deter immigrants from illegally crossing the United States-Mexico border, an appeals court ruled Friday.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled 2-1 to decline a request by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) to reverse a lower court decision that had ordered it to remove the 1,000-foot-long string of buoys placed at the river in July near Eagle Pass, Texas. The decision can still be appealed, but it marks a victory for the Biden administration's efforts to remove the barriers, arguing they unlawfully block navigation and cause humanitarian concerns.

When I was a lad in GITMO, we were protected by large fields of landmines. The single road through the landmines was guarded by heavy artillery.

Texas should secede.

That’ll make the point better.

And commandeer all the U.S. military bases and equipment in the state.

It has to happen sooner or later.

Governors unable to learn the word NO! are going to allow “We the People” to suffer accordingly.

Time to rid ourselves of such, but unfortunately there are too many “We the People” who are on the side of destroying what the founding fathers gave us at great expense and hardship.

Don’t let the first step into the country be a crime.

Considering we have over fifty million illegals roaming the country as we speak. My conservative estimate.

David Alan Ezra - Senior United States District Judge Stooge [District of Hawaii] - initially ruled in this case in the Western District of Texas.

In January 2013, Ezra was designated by the Chief Justice John Roberts to the Western District of Texas, San Antonio and Austin Divisions, to help ease the heavy workload for the federal judges in that state. Ezra has a Chambers and Courtrooms in both San Antonio and Austin, Texas.

Ezra is a Reagan appointee who appears to have "grown in office".

The appeal was heard before Don Willett [Trump judge], Carolyn Dineen King [Peanut Boy stooge], and Dana M. Douglas [Biden stooge], Circuit Judges.

Dana M. Douglas, Circuit Judge wrote the 2 to 1 opinion.

Of course, John Robert's Democrat political stooges outvoted Trump judge Don Willett, who wrote a good dissent.

Has anyone, ANYONE read the Court ruling?

I highly doubt it, based on the comments.

Here’s the link:

Abbott was just on Maria’s show and said that same thing. The Rio Grand is not navigatable, thousands walk across daily. Says he will take to Supreme Court. He said between the buoys, the wall and the wire with National Guard behind it the cartels have rerouted to Arizona, which is having record illegal crossing. Maria then had Kari Lake on to talk about that.

Thanks for the ping.

I’ll have to watch this/replay.

Unreal....that we’re even having to play whack a mole, against our own fed agencies, as our Gov Abbott is having to do...to keep ILLEGAL aliens (they’re not sending their best, as we know), out.
