A federal judge Wednesday ordered Texas to remove floating buoys from the Rio Grande no later than Sept. 15. Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the buoys in July to curb the flow of illegal immigrants to the state. The plan was part of the Republican governor’s broader Operation Lone Star.

Eagle Pass is part of a Border Patrol sector that has seen the second-highest number of migrant crossings this fiscal year with about 270,000 encounters — though that figure is lower than it was at this time last year.

President Biden's administration also said the water barrier raised humanitarian and environmental concerns.

Texas also has installed razor wire and steel fencing on the border, while also empowering armed officers to arrest migrants on trespassing charges. Abbott said his administration planned to appeal Wednesday’s decision by U.S. District Judge David Ezra.

This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal," Abbott said in a statement. "We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers. "Our battle to defend Texas’ sovereign authority to protect lives from the chaos caused by President Biden’s open border policies has only begun. Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
