Texas has been installing the buoys over the past week, along with razor wire on the Rio Grande river near Eagle Pass.’s aggressive border security initiative Operation Lone Star, which launched in March 2021. Abbott has also deployed the Texas National Guard, built new sections of border wall and bused more than 20,000 migrants from Texas to big cities led by Democrats.
