Greg Abbott Over Buoys in Rio Grande<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/female-athletes-denounce-biden-executive-order-on-gender-identity\/\" title=\"Female athletes denounce Biden executive order on gender identity\">facing legal action<\/a> from Jesse Fuentes, owner of Epi&#8217;s Canoe &#038; Kayak Team, after the installation of buoys in the Rio Grande. Fuentes wasted no time and filed a lawsuit just hours after the buoys were deployed, claiming that his company will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/greg-abbott-sued-by-small-business-owner-because-of-rio-grande-buoys\/\" title=\"Small business owner sues Greg Abbott over Rio Grande buoys.\">suffer significant losses due<\/a> to the obstruction caused by the buoys. He argues that this installation will result in immediate and irreparable harm to his business, which has been operating since 2015 in Eagle Pass, located directly across the river from Coahuila, Mexico.<\/p>\n<h3>Abbott Accused of Misusing Texas Disaster Act<\/h3>\n<p>The lawsuit also accuses Gov. Abbott of misusing the Texas Disaster Act. In addition to implementing the buoys, Abbott has used this act to apprehend immigrants and transport them to various cities, including Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City. Fuentes&#8217; attorney, Carlos E. Flores, criticized Abbott&#8217;s actions, stating, &#8220;The Governor proclaims to support law and order, yet he initiated Operation Lone Star without legal authority and seeks to install buoys to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/knowles-the-bad-faith-debate-over-cancel-culture\/\" title=\"KNOWLES: The Bad Faith Debate Over \u2018Cancel Culture\u2019\">score political points<\/a> without a legitimate public policy objective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fuentes claims that even before the buoys were deployed, the closure of Shelby Boat Ramp to non<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-blocks-construction-of-nations-first-safe-injection-site\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Blocks Construction of Nation\u2019s First Safe Injection Site\">-law enforcement officials<\/a> and the presence of an Operation Lone Star security guard post had already impacted his business&#8217;s revenue. Now, Fuentes is seeking a permanent injunction against the buoys.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will see you in court,&#8221; Abbott responded defiantly on Twitter. &#8220;And don&#8217;t think the Travis Co. Court will be the end of it. This is going to the Supreme Court. Texas has a constitutional right to secure our border.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Protesters Gather at Rio Grande<\/h3>\n<p>Protesters gathered at the Rio Grande on Friday, holding signs denouncing the installation of the buoys and expressing their opposition.<\/p>\n<p>These buoys, stretching approximately 1,000 feet in length, have cost the state around $1 million.
