Texas defied a Biden administration cease-and-desist order this week to dismantle its border barrier near the city of Eagle Pass, where state troopers took over a 2.5-mile stretch and installed fencing, gates and razor wire. Last Friday, a mother and her two children drowned in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass when Border Patrol agents were denied access to the area by state officials acting under orders from Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “Day after day after day, people are drowning because of the obstacles that this man put in the river,” says Democratic Texas state Senator Roland Gutierrez. “No obstacle, no barrier is going to fix this problem. We need comprehensive immigration reform in this country.”
