They had these floating bouy things wrapped in razor wire that I believe went all the way to the bottom of the water. You could definitely see them. You would certainly get gravely injured if you tried to traverse them.

The feds ordered those removed. I'm not sure if they did remove them or not.

The SCOTUS ordered it removed, because it was floating into the Mexican side of the river (effectively making this an illegal trespass onto foreign soil). The Texas state response was to deploy more buoys and dare someone to stop them.

When you're so far Alt-right that the Heritage Foundation wet-dream SCOTUS isn't even on your side...

It wasn't their fault. No one remembered to buy Thomas or Alito a new boat
