The Texas Department\u2062 of Public Safety previously reported to Border Patrol that the \u2063dead body was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/greg-abbott-mexico-lying-about-immigrant-deaths-near-border-buoys\/\" title=\"Greg Abbott accuses Mexico of lying about border buoy immigrant deaths.\">found floating upstream<\/a> from the barriers \u2062in the Rio Grande.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mexican authorities released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/steve-schmidt-resigns-from-the-lincoln-project-releases-statement-claiming-he-was-molested-at-13\/\" title=\"Steve Schmidt Resigns From The Lincoln Project, Releases Statement Claiming He Was Molested At 13\">statement claiming<\/a> that U.S. officials discovered the body \u2063entangled in the buoy system.

Chris Olivarez explained that the shallow area where the buoys were installed is easy to walk across and not \u2064a\u2063 location where someone could drown due to\u2062 the buoys. &#8220;The water is between knee and waist level,&#8221; \u2062Olivarez \u2063said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no way\u2062 the body would have drowned there&#8230; There&#8217;s nothing in the buoy \u2014 no objects, no sharp objects, no wire, no hook.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 Mexican Ministry of\u2062 Foreign Affairs criticized Abbott&#8217;s barrier, calling it a &#8220;violation of our sovereignty&#8221; and expressing concern about the impact on the human rights and\u2063 safety of immigrants. Abbott&#8217;s office responded by stating that drownings in\u2064 the Rio Grande are unfortunately \u200bcommon and attributed them to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-threatens-to-sue-texas-over-barriers-on-rio-grande-blocking-illegal-immigration\/\" title=\"Biden administration may take legal action against Texas for barriers impeding illegal immigration on Rio Grande.\">open border\u200c policies<\/a> of President Biden and President Lopez Obrador.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If President Biden\u200b and President\u200d Lopez Obrador truly cared about human life, \u200dthey would do their jobs and secure the border,&#8221; Mahaleris concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>deaths of two individuals found near Gov.
