Video: Jul 24, 2023. The Justice Department is suing Texas and Texas Governor Greg Abbott over a one-thousand foot floating barrier and an additional razor wire barrier that the state deployed across part of the Rio Grande, a river stretching between Texas and Mexico, this month. The DOJ had warned Abbott that his moves violated federal law, raised humanitarian concerns, and presented serious risks to public safety and the environment. Joy Reid and her panel discuss.
USA Today: Two found dead in Rio Grande where Texas' floating barrier and razor wire sparked federal lawsuit. Initial reports referred to one victim as a child. However, the Mexican foreign ministry later announced late Thursday that that one victim had been identified as a 20-year-old man from Honduras after his mother said the tattoos on the body matched that of her son's. According to Mexico's foreign affairs secretary, the other body was found stuck on the buoys Wednesday. Those buoys installed at Gov. Greg Abbott's order... 8/3/2023.
