Mexico sent Texas a complaint letter regarding the buoys in the Rio Grande and will soon deploy a team to investigate.

According to Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena, the buoys risk violating the water treaty of 1944, which largely surrounds the use of water from the Rio Grande, but could be affected if the new barriers, meant to prevent border crossings via the water, affect the river’s flow. Barcena sent the complaint on June 26, before the buoys were deployed.

“We are sending a mission, a territorial inspection to see where the buoys are located … to carry out this topographical survey to verify that they do not cross into Mexican territory,” Barcena told reporters Friday.

Barcena also lamented the addition of more razor wire installed along a low-lying island near Eagle Pass, Texas, which Gov. Greg Abbott (R) referred to as a tactic “to prevent people from even crossing the middle part of the Rio Grande River and coming into the state of Texas” during a television interview Friday.

Abbott is already facing a lawsuit from a local kayaking business owner alleging that the buoys prevent him from conducting tours. The Texas governor responded by threatening that he would take the suit all the way to the Supreme Court.

These buoys, at about 1,000 feet long, cost the state about $1 million. This comes from the $5.1 billion granted by the Texas legislature toward securing the border.

According to the governor, the barriers have resulted in more crossings in New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
