This footage was filmed and produced 7 July 2023.

Footage shows Texas authorities installing a floating barrier in the Rio Grande to impede undocumented migrants.

The barrier consists of large spiked buoys, aiming to prevent crossings.

Governor Greg Abbott announced the project on Twitter and expressed the intention to extend it along a 300-meter stretch near Eagle Pass. However, migrant support organizations raise concerns about potential drowning incidents. Legal actions have been initiated to halt the installation.

The Texas Department of Public Safety emphasizes the barrier's role in deterring unlawful crossings and human smuggling, aiming to prevent loss of life.
