U.S. Officials Plan Buoy Barriers Along Northern Border Amid Rising Concerns Over Illegal Crossings

Federal border officials are actively planning to deploy floating buoy barriers along the U.S.-Canada border in a move that mirrors controversial tactics previously used in the southern United States. Acting Spokane Sector Chief Jason Liebe confirms to NewsNation that plans are underway to place a line of bright orange buoys into Lake Koocanusa, a cross-border reservoir that stretches from Montana into British Columbia, as part of a broader effort to monitor and deter unauthorized crossings into the United States.

The proposal is still in the planning phase. . .
