The U.S. Justice Department is threatening to sue the state of Texas after Republican Governor Greg Abbott installed barrels wrapped in razor wire in the Rio Grande in an attempt to block migrants from crossing the river. This comes just after a whistleblower state trooper at the Texas Department of Public Safety recently protested the state's inhumane policies in a letter to superiors. "What's happening at the border in Texas right now is criminal," says Democratic Texas Senator Roland Gutierrez. "There's state crimes, there's federal crimes, and there's international crimes.”

"Should it be a #FederalCrime to encourage an #UndocumentedImmigrant to remain in the country? In a friend of the court brief filed today with the U.S. Supreme Court, we argue that such a prohibition is facially unconstitutional on #FirstAmendment grounds that it would sweep up and prohibit constitutionally protected speech."
