Important Takeaways:

  • A U.S. judge ordered Texas to move floating buoys that were placed in the middle of the Rio Grande to block migrants from illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a tentative win for President Joe Biden, whose administration sued the state.
  • The ruling is a setback for Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who contends that Biden has been too lenient with border security as record numbers of migrants have been caught crossing illegally in recent years.
  • Texas immediately appealed the ruling to the conservative-leaning 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Abbott’s office said it was willing to take the case to the Supreme Court if needed.
  • “Our battle to defend Texas’ sovereign authority to protect lives from the chaos caused by President Biden’s open border policies has only begun,” the governor’s office said in a statement.
