The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rules that the controversial floating barrier in the Rio Grande River in South Texas can remain in place. This decision reverses a previous ruling from December by three judges of the same court. The barrier, which has been the subject of intense legal battles, was challenged by the Justice Department on grounds that it violated international treaties and was installed without federal authorization.
The barrier, designed to deter illegal crossings along the Texas-Mexico border, has sparked significant debate over its legality. . .
