Estas medidas se toman para proteger las áreas a lo largo del Parque Shelby, que en el pasado ha visto a miles de migrantes cruzar y entregarse a las autoridades, incluida la Border Patrol.

La barrera flotante fronteriza se extenderá desde la parte sur del Puente 2 hasta la zona de Shelby Park.

"Texas colocó más boyas en el Río Grande esta mañana. A pesar de los intentos de la Administración Biden-Harris de cerrar nuestros esfuerzos de seguridad fronteriza, las boyas llegaron para quedarse", dijo Abbott. "No daremos marcha atrás en nuestra misión de disuadir y repeler la inmigración ilegal".

Texas Installs More Border Buoy Barriers Along the Shelby Park Area

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered for personnel from the Texas Military Department to install more buoy border barrier along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass.

These efforts are being taken in order to secure areas along the Shelby Park, which in the past has seen thousands of migrants cross and turn themselves into authorities including the Border Patrol.

The border floating barrier will be extended from the southern portion of Bridge 2 and into the Shelby Park zone.

"Texas placed more buoys in the Rio Grande River this morning. Despite the Biden-Harris Administration’s attempts to shut down our border security efforts, the buoys are here to stay," said Abbott. "We won't back down from our mission to deter and repel illegal immigration."
