Texas attorneys asked federal appeals court judges Thursday to let the state keep large concrete-anchored buoys in place to block migrants from crossing the Rio Grande - a floating barrier that the Biden administration says was illegally deployed without required federal authorization.
Michael Gray of the U.S. Justice Department pointed to past ferry traffic in the area, the use of the area by vessels with the U.S. Coast Guard and the International Boundary and Water Commission, and the possibility of future projects to make the stretch better suited for commercial traffic as evidence that the barriers violated federal law.
