US EditionDOJ asks judge to force removal of Texas' Rio Grande floating barrier
- The Justice Department is seeking a court order to force Texas Governor Greg Abbott to remove a floating barrier installed in the Rio Grande River, claiming it violates federal law and has caused international concern.

- The DOJ wants Texas to immediately remove the current floating barrier and cease installing additional barriers while the case is ongoing, citing risks to navigation, public safety, and humanitarian concerns.
