Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called the reported treatment of migrants by Texas officials at the U.S.-Mexico border extreme and barbaric.
Texas Democrats in Congress called the razor wire “barbaric” and some said the state’s border measures violated international human rights laws.Abbott’s office did not respond to a request for comment on López Obrador’s reaction.
“That is something the Department of Justice is going to certainly look into,” Jean-Pierre said, rejecting the idea that by leaving an unwanted barrier in place, the federal government has effectively ceded some control over an international boundary to the state.”Absolutely not,” she said, emphasizing that the Justice and Homeland Security departments are looking into options.
He reiterated that call earlier this week, urging Hispanic Americans to oppose Abbott and any Republican who fails to denounce his border tactics. Jean-Pierre declined to comment on whether it’s objectionable for a foreign leader to weigh in that way on U.S. campaigns.On Wednesday, the Mexican president said he would refuse to meet with Abbott even if the governor asked.
