Federal appeals court rules Texas can keep its floating barrier in Rio Grande Texas will be allowed to keep its floating buoy barriers in the Rio Grande after a U.S. appeals court granted a temporary stay on Thursday. The appeals court's ruling comes after a federal judge ordered the state of Texas to remove its floating barriers and refrain from building additional barriers to keep immigrants from crossing the border on Wednesday. It was not set to take effect until Sept. 15.
The order came a day after U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ordered Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas to remove the barrier because it was an impediment to navigation on the river and a threat to human life.
