In video, San Antonio congressman shows blades on Gov. Greg Abbott's border buoys
As part of a fact-finding trip to Eagle Pass on Tuesday, Congressman Joaquin Castro put what he called the "barbaric" construction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s buoy barrier on full display in an online video. “The state says they’re not a danger to anybody; well, I want you to look right here at this chainsaw device,” the San Antonio Democrat said in the clip, pointing to what appears to flat, circular blades wedged together between the orange buoys. During the video, posted to X — the platform formerly known as Twitter — Castro also shows off razor wire installed along the banks of the Rio Grande River.
