Judge Orders Texas to Remove Buoy 'Death Traps' From Rio Grande

"These inhumane traps were placed by Greg Abbott to harm and kill people who were just looking to move to survive and thrive," said one rights group.

Migrant rights groups and Texas Democrats on Wednesday welcomed a federal judge's order that the state remove from the Rio Grande about 1,000 feet of orange buoys fastened together with metal cables and anchored with concrete blocks.

@alexwild I can't even believe Biden is allowing this. is in violation of the Geneva Conventions, which were ratified by Congress and part of the US law code. He is also in violation of our own laws that control our navigable waterways. The border is not between TX and Mexico, it is between the US and Mexico. Functionally, has seceded from the Union and declared TX a separate country with sovereign over its own borders, in violation of the Constitution.

All of that against the Geneva Conventions, part of the US legal code. is a homicidal sociopath and belongs in a facility for the criminally insane. TX doesn't have its own border with Mexico, that is a US-Mexico border, and has no legal authority to "control" it. Furthermore, he is violation of laws governing US navigable waterways. I am baffled why the Biden administration is allowing Abbott to murderously flaunt the law.

Truly incredible. I still don't understand how is getting away with violating the Geneva Conventions at the US-Mexican border. The Geneva Conventions are US law, not simple international agreements, ratified by Congress. It's as if has seceded from the Union and declared its own international border with Mexico that supersedes US control. What next, is he going to start replacing US customs with his own border crossing and sending the Border Patrol packing?

@ohiorob Amoral people will push the boundaries of inhumanity until Moral people make their stand. Democracies, in particular, need to be leading the charge, & not demonstrating how to trample over Migrant Rights.

I stand corrected! I didn't realized he had actually become a naturalized citizen. (Somehow, I can't wrap my head around somebody having THREE citizenships simultaneously.) Even so, my vote still goes to for this particular list, so no harm no foul! 8^)

, , , and no longer recognize US federal law, so this article is almost irrelevant to the circumstances. is a Christo-fascist police state now, as are states of the Bible Belt. We're two countries now, the Constitutional US versus the Xian police states of the South, the Great Plains, and the Republic of Texas that even has its own border with Mexico that replaces the US border with Mexico. is a homicidal sociopath but the US can't do anything about him.

3-year-old child died while traveling on a bus chartered by the state of Texas as it transported asylum seekers from the border city of Brownsville to Chicago as part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s program to send migrants from Texas to Democratic-run cities in other states, officials said.
The child’s parents were also on the bus when the child began showing symptoms of an illness, including a fever and diarrhea, before losing consciousness

The NFL is missing a big opportunity here. Before the regular season begins, they should schedule joint team fights, where teams take the field and just start trying to break bones. It would get a huge TV audience and the stadia would be packed. It would rival the old gladiatorial fights in the Colosseum. Staged in the Red States, homicidal sociopaths like and could literally give a thumbs up/thumbs down life sentence from the skybox! Now THAT'S entertainment!

Better education can never involve state-supported religion. I am DEFINITELY afraid of the Talibangelicals and the Catholic SCOTUS, marching to the tune of the Archbishop of the Holy See. Theocracy is the worst form of gov't there is. There was hope for us in the 60s and 70s, but it all came unraveled during the Reagan years, with Xian crazies like Jerry Falwell and the execrable Billy Graham guiding the ship of state.
Xians elect homicidal sociopaths like and .
