Blowback over the tactics chosen by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to secure the border with Mexico is widening, including from within Texas.
The International Boundary of Water Commission says it was not notified when Texas modified several islands or deployed the massive buoys to create a barrier covering 1,000 feet of the middle of the Rio Grande, with anchors in the riverbed.
Fuentes sued over the buoys, arguing that border crossings are not covered by the Texas Disaster Act. The Texas Military Department cleared out carrizo cane, which Buckingham's office called an"invasive plant" in its response to questions from the AP, and changed the landscape, affecting the river's flow."As far as I know, if there's flooding in the river, it's much more severe in Piedras Negras than it is in Eagle Pass because that's the lower side of the river.
The state declined to release any records that might detail the environmental impacts of the buoys or changes to the landscape.
