Floating barriers appear near El Chalán Ferry in Los Ebanos as federal border buoy project grows
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Orange buoys have been spotted in the Rio Grande near Los Ebanos as part of a federal initiative to curb illegal border crossings. Workers at the El Chalan ferry reported seeing the buoys, which were initially installed as warnings against illegal entry into the U.S. U.S. Customs and Border Protection plans to install a total of 533 miles of these barriers, although only 44 miles have been deployed so far. The buoys, measuring 12 to 15 feet long and 4 to 5 feet in diameter, are part of President Trump's extensive border security strategy, which aims to extend westward to Lake Amistad.
