Why isn’t this disgusting waste of #taxpayers💰in furtherance of a scheme…
By the #texas Gov. #gregabbott to push his political agenda…

At the cost of lives!
Much like #Hitler …He thinks these lives don’t matter.
It’s blatant #machiavellian campaign of hate & power.
Unfortunately, Texas citizenry pay the enormous price tag…& public shaming.

No escaping on how #history records the evil perpetrated there.

A federal court has ordered Texas to remove its razor wire-topped floating barrier from the Rio Grande by Sept 15. However, the order requires only that the barrier be moved to the riverbank, not that it be dismantled.

Federal judge #DavidEzra ruled Wed. that #Texas must remove border buoys placed along #RioGrande by Friday, Sept 15. The judge additionally barred Texas & Governor #GregAbbott from putting up any new blockades.

In his order, the judge wrote, “The Court also find Texas's conduct irreparably harms the #PublicSafety, navigation, & operations of federal agency officials in & around the Rio Grande….The balance of the equities and #PublicInterest each favor an injunction.”

A federal judge ordered Gov #GregAbbott on Wed to move a barrier of floating buoys in the #RioGrande that was placed by the state of #Texas to discourage illegal crossings from #Mexico, concluding it was an impediment to navigation on the river & a “THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE.”

Judge David Ezra of the U.S. District Court in #Austin ordered the state to move the roughly 1,000-foot barrier to the U.S. banks of the river as quickly as possible while the legal case proceeded.

Oh Matamoros, by the Rio Grande
Your people now besieged by a sad fate
Four lives, now lost
In a violent clash, at such cost
Your citizens hearts now filled with hate

Walked across the mostly dry Rio Grande today. No es grande.

by #NoellePhillips in The #DenverPost:

"A veteran employee of the Bureau of Land Management in the San Luis Valley filed a whistleblower complaint Monday, saying her bosses are failing to enforce livestock grazing rules on public lands and are jeopardizing the ecosystem along the Rio Grande River...

"The Bureau has the power to impound livestock or levy fines, but managers are timid because they fear another armed standoff similar to the ones led by the Bundy family in Oregon and Nevada, Shawcroft said. In 2014 in Nevada, Cliven Bundy, his family and an armed militia organized a standoff with federal agents who had come to round up the rancher’s cows that were illegally grazing on federal land."

Will Bunch writes that the young man who drowned in the Rio Grande the first week of August due to Greg Abbott's buoy barrier had a name:

Norlan Bayardo Herrera.

But he adds,

"If I had waited on the American mainstream media to write about the human beings lost to the barbaric policies of the governor of the nation’s second-largest state, I would still be waiting."

Gov. #Abbott installed circular saws in the #RioGrande. #Migrants have already been caught and died in these “river walls.” This is clearly meant to hurt and kill more. Blatant #humanrights violation if that wasn’t immediately clear

"The wrecking ball-sized buoys that make up the floating barrier that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott installed in July in the Rio Grande have circular saws between them, according to a video posted by Rep. Sylvia Garcia."

This is because Texas Republicans are, as they constantly loudly proclaim, pro-life, right? It's because they're led by Catholic pro-life governor Abbott, right?
