Texas must remove the floating barrier buoys the state placed in the Rio Grande River to deter illegal immigrant crossings, a federal judge ruled Wednesday — but Gov. Greg Abbott wasted no time in announcing he’d appeal.
District Court Judge David Ezra ordered the wrecking ball-sized buoys be taken away by next Friday and banned the Lone Star State from adding any other structures in the Rio Grande — the international boundary between the US and Mexico in Texas — without prior approval from the feds.
Soon after Ezra’s ruling Abbott released a statement, vowing that “Texas will appeal.”
“This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal. We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers,” the governor said.
Removal of the 1,000-foot marine barrier is part of a preliminary injunction, not a final ruling in the federal lawsuit. *** In July, the Justice Department sued Abbott, arguing he did not have the authority to order the placement of the river buoys.
The Republican governor never sought necessary permission from the International Boundary and Water Commission to install the barrier, the federal agency in charge of the river told The Post in July.
Federal prosecutors argue the string of large, orange buoys — meant to prevent asylum-seeking immigrants from venturing into the waters of the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas — are also a “threat to human life.***

Federal Judge Arrested for Usurping the rights of a Free State, held without bail, looking at Life Sentence...
Yet another criminal in a black robe.
The Federal Judge has made his ruling, now let him come and enforce it.
Let The Big Guy order the National Guard to remove them. Let the world see just how much contempt he has for our borders...our nation.
Perhaps a busload of “migrants” can be sent up to this judge’s home.
Yes, enough is enough. Ignore alien orders, and proceed ahead.
David Alan Ezra (born 1947) is a senior United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. Since January 2013, Ezra has been designated by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court to serve on the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division to help ease the heavy workload for the federal judges in Texas.
On November 18, 1987, Ezra was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii
Exactly.
Texas will lose in court over this nonsense. It is illegal and unconstitutional. They can appeal all the way to the USSC, Texas will lose.
Along with the homes of the rest of the braindead lefties.
And we have one in the White House.
A sovereign citizen-sanctuary state.
I had a obama.gov job hauling hot mix out of Minot North Dakota to the various border stations on the canada/ US border.
They were building new stations there and we were black topping the new road.
Twas kinda funny because illegals were working to build the new stations that are supposed to keep the illegals out
How does a judge in Hawaii get assigned to case involving the border between Texas and Mexico? Was everybody else on vacation?
“...are also a “threat to human life.***”
The river, is not, of course, a threat to human life.
Wonder how many lives have been saved by discouraging crossings?
And why would Abbott feel the need to obey a ruling? The illegals are free to break the law without consequence and they get money from us taxpayers for doing so. Biden feels free to break the law. He should not remove the barriers and proclaim he has learned from Biden.
Now that is a good idea, not families, but all combat aged men.
“It is illegal and unconstitutional.”
You don’t know what the hell you are talking about.
The Constutition gives states the authority to stop an invasion of their borders.
At least they fight
Just ignore the Feds, recruit a Posse from among Patriotic citizens and set skirmish lines.
