Ezra found that Texas' buoys obstructed free navigation in the Rio Grande

Navigable servitude. Article I Section 8 of the Constitution grants the Federal Government ultimate control of navigable waters.

It was one of the arguments in the original filing that I had a suspicion that the courts would favor on enforcing. Part of the Rio Grande that has some the floats isn’t exactly used for boat traffic so it was interesting to see the Court give the entire waterway to the US government.

That all said, with this injunction this quickly for this reason, Texas’ floating barrier is pretty dead, never to return. Even the textualist of the SCOTUS will have a hard time trying to bend backwards on the Constitution explicitly indicating that the various rivers of this country belong to the US government first and foremost.

I hope a Nazi is maimed by the rusty saw blades they put between the buoys to harm immigrants.

“This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal.”

Care to wager on that?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A federal judge in Austin on Wednesday ordered Texas to remove river barriers that the state assembled along a stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border to repel migrants, giving the Biden administration an early victory in its lawsuit against the buoys approved by Republican Gov.

Senior U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra issued a preliminary injunction directing Texas officials to remove the floating border barriers from the middle of the Rio Grande by Sept. 15, at the state's own expense.

The Biden administration filed its lawsuit against the floating barriers in late July, arguing that Texas needed permission from the federal government to set up the buoys, and that the state had failed to acquire it.

Last month, Texas repositioned the buoys closer to American soil after federal officials disclosed a joint U.S.-Mexico survey that concluded that roughly 80% of the barriers had been set up in Mexican territory.

The legal fight over the buoys has become the latest flash point in a two-year political feud between the Biden administration and Abbott, who has accused the federal government of not doing enough to deter migrants from crossing the southern border illegally.

The most high-profile component of Abbott's operation has been an effort to bus thousands of migrants from the southern border to large Democratic-led cities like New York, Chicago and Denver, which now find themselves struggling to house destitute newcomers who lack ties to the U.S.
