The Texas Kayaker taking on the Governor at the border Y’all-itics: July 21, 2023
The state of Texas is investigating claims that troopers working along the border were ordered to withhold water from migrants trying to cross… even reportedly pushing some back into the river. It’s happening in Eagle Pass, Texas, the same area where the Governor recently deployed a long line of buoys to deter crossings. Just before Mexico filed an official diplomatic complaint, a kayaker and lifelong resident became the first to sue the Governor over his wall of buoys on the Rio Grande. Not only is it destroying his business, but Jessie Fuentes says it will do nothing to stop migrants seeking asylum. Before he makes his argument in court, he’s first explaining it to the Jasons.
