The Justice Department is seeking a preliminary injunction in its case against Texas over its use of floating barriers in the Rio Grande . Earlier this week the Justice Department sued Texas over the floating barriers which were installed by the state as part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbotts border operation arguing that they did so without authorization . The basic facts are clear and no further inquiry is needed for this Court to grant the United States immediate injunctive relief in this enforcement action the Justice Dept. said in a Wednesday court filing in an attempt to put the case on a fast track . This story is breaking and will be updated. It is the latest in a series of lawsuits filed by the Department of Justice against the Texas governor and the Texas attorney general to the Texas Attorney General. It has been filed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the U.S. Attorney General for the Texas Supreme Court on November 8.
