The lawsuit accuses the federal government of destroying state property and impeding Texas’ efforts to secure its border with Mexico.
Texas takes its border showdown with President Biden to a panel of judges on Thursday, arguing that the illegal immigrants streaming into the U.S. constitutes an invasion that the state has a right to repel -- including by deploying its own floating wall in the Rio Grande.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) ramped up security efforts at the Texas-Mexico border on Wednesday evening, sending the Texas National Guard to help with the "invasion" and ordering officials to install more razor wire.
A federal judge has ruled that Texas must remove the floating barriers it set up in the Rio Grande River to deter migrants from crossing the US-Mexico border.
The judge ordered the buoys removed at Texas' expense by Sept. 15.
