To be certain, those maimed and killed on the Rio Grande… will receive damages from Texas, for this lawlessness.
It may take another decade — but it will come. [The related federal court mediation continues on a parallel path to this — as well.] Here’s the latest, out of Del Rio:
…Pursuant to the Court’s direction at the Status Conference in this case on July 14, 2026, Plaintiff State of Texas submits the following notice:
Plaintiff intends to offer into evidence at the final hearing of this case, currently set for October 13, 2026, some or all of the evidence and testimony previously presented to the Court at the hearings in this case on November 7, 2023; November 27, 2023; and March 4 and 5, 2024, and in addition may present testimony by the following witnesses:
1. Michael W. Banks
2. (as adverse witness) Defendant Anthony “Scott” Good, Acting Chief Patrol Agent, Del Rio Sector of U. S. Border Patrol.
3. Col. Brian Fletcher….
Now you know. What a vast and ongoing waste — of Texans’ taxpayer funds. The MAGA gubernator down there does not control federal waterways — even if Tangerine 2.0 is doing ZERO, to end the depraved and torturous lawlessness, on those waterways. Abbott cannot hop into the supposed breach to continue his cruel lawlessness. He just… can’t.
