It also claims the barrier violates treaties regarding the use of the river, and violates Mexico’s sovereignty.“We made clear our concern about the impact on migrant’s safety and human rights that these state policies would have,” the department said in a statement.The barrier was installed in July, and stretches roughly the length of three soccer fields. It is designed to make it more difficult for migrants to climb over or swim under the barrier.The U.S. Justice Department is suing Abbott over...
