AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said Texas has moved a string of buoys in the Rio Grande further north in the water following pushback from the international water commission that the barrier had drifted onto the Mexico side of the river.
"Out of an abundance of caution, Texas went back and moved the buoys into a location where it is clear that they are on the United States side, not on the Mexico side," Abbott said during a press conference in Eagle Pass on Monday afternoon, where the buoys were installed last month.
Gov. Kim Reynolds , chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, said 25 states have sent a combined 1,600 troops and 330 police officers to the Texas border since President Joe Biden took office. "What we're literally witnessing is a war zone," said Noem."We absolutely have to show people that there's a different choice. And it literally is just enforcing the laws that we already have."
Abbott did not answer a question about his GOP pick for president in 2024 but said it was imperative that the country replace Biden with a Republican.
