Summary
Texas’s Rio Grande buoys, meant to block crossings, are turning into floating disasters—drifting downstream after heavy rains, crashing into bridges and sparking safety fears. Originally deployed in 2023 and contested by the Biden administration, the new administration plans to install over 500 miles, alarming environmentalists who warn of worsened flooding and debris.
