Texas Governor Tells Biden He’ll See Him In Court

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is promising a legal showdown with the Biden administration in their fight over immigration enforcement. He told the federal government Monday that the state won’t remove its floating barrier on the Rio Grande. In a letter to the Department of Justice, Abbott said his state has the authority to protect its border. The Justice Department last week threatened to sue Texas over the buoys between Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Mexico. Immigration enforcement is typically the purview of the federal government, which says the buoy wall raises humanitarian and environmental concerns. Abbott wrote in his letter, “Texas will see you in court, Mr. President.”
