Aye, matey! A bobbin' barrier on the Rio Grande be stayin' put fer the time bein', keepin' those landlubbers from sailin' into Texas, 'til the court has its say in August. Yarrr, justice be a slow ship, but it’ll sail nonetheless!

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend me yer ears, fer I bring ye tidings from the mighty waters of the Rio Grande! A federal appeals court, like a band o' scallywags, decreed that a flotilla of buoys, meant to keep land lubbers from Mexico from sailing into Texas, shall remain afloat fer the time being!

The Fifth Circuit Court, savvy in their ways, overturned a previous ruling that said the buoys must be scuttled come December. They be claimin’ a mischief o’ discretion had befallen the earlier judgment. Meanwhile, the good Captain Greg Abbott o' Texas, celebratin' on the social seas, hailed the court’s decision as a fair stroke of justice. “Biden tried to remove 'em,” he proclaimed, “but I fought fer their rightful place in the drink!”

These buoyant barriers, anchored like treasure chests in the riverbed near Eagle Pass, have stirred up a maelstrom o' legal wranglin’ from the Biden crew, who be claimin' the state’s actions break international law and raise concerns, both humanitarian and environmental, like a storm brewin' on the horizon.

So, me mateys, as this tale unfurls, we await further developments as the courts prepare fer a grand showdown on the eighth of August! Arrr!
