Senior U.S.\u2064 District\u200b Judge David Alan Ezra\u200b issued a \u200dcourt order, demanding\u200d that Texas not only remove the existing barrier but \u2062also refrain from constructing \u2063any\u2063 additional barriers until his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/disbarred-environmental-lawyer-who-sued-chevron-found-guilty-of-criminal-contempt\/\" title=\"Disbarred Environmental Lawyer Who Sued Chevron Found Guilty Of Criminal Contempt\">final judgment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Defendants \u200cand anyone working on their behalf \u2062are enjoined and hereby prohibited from building new or\u200c placing additional buoys, blockades, or\u200b structures of any\u2063 kind in the Rio Grande \u200dRiver pending \u2062final judgment in this matter,&#8221; Ezra wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, \u2063the\u200c court order specifies that Texas must \u2062relocate the buoys, anchors, and related materials\u200d of the \u200cfloating barrier to\u2062 the bank of\u200d the Rio Grande on the Texas side of the river by September\u2062 15, \u200c2023. The state \u200dwill bear the expenses of this\u2064 repositioning, which \u2062will \u2063be \u2063carried out in coordination with \u2063the United States\u2062 Army Corps \u2064of\u200b Engineers.<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing the news, Governor\u200b Greg Abbott (R-TX) wasted no time \u200cin\u200d announcing his intention\u2063 to appeal the decision. He expressed his readiness to\u200c take the legal battle all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTexas will appeal. Today\u2019s \u200ccourt decision merely prolongs President Biden\u2019s\u2064 willful refusal to acknowledge that Texas\u2064 is rightfully stepping up to \u200ddo the job that he \u200cshould have been \u200bdoing all along,&#8221; \u200bAbbott&#8217;s office \u200csaid in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abbott&#8217;s office \u200dfirmly believes that the\u2062 ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal. \u200cThey remain committed \u200dto utilizing every strategy available to secure the border, including deploying Texas National \u200cGuard\u200d soldiers\u200c and Department of Public Safety troopers,\u2064 as \u2063well as installing strategic barriers. The fight to defend Texas&#8217; sovereign authority to\u200b protect lives from the chaos caused by President \u2062Biden&#8217;s <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\u200d policies<\/a> is far from over.<\/p>\n<p>While Republicans expressed their dismay at the decision, Democrats celebrated the court order.\u200d Democratic state Sen. \u2064Roland Gutierrez, who\u2063 is running against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2024, welcomed the dismantlement of the barrier and sought to connect the policy directly to his Senate opponent.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The cruel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-ordered-to-remove-rio-grande-barrier-as-trial-continues\/\" title=\"Texas told to take down Rio Grande barrier during ongoing trial.\">inhumane border policies endorsed<\/a> by Ted Cruz\u200b have killed children\u200b and separated families,&#8221; Gutierrez \u2062said\u200c in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gutierrez praised \u200bthe decision\u2063 as a \u200bnecessary step towards justice, shedding light on the inhumane and cruel practices that have no place in society. He emphasized that drowning women and children at the border is not a policy \u200cbut \u2063an act of cruelty and insanity. Gutierrez called \u2062for immediate action to end this whole stunt.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner\u200b reached out to Sen.
