Abbott plans to appeal a federal judge's order to remove a Rio Grande barrier.
The judge ruled Texas must get rid of the floating barrier by Sept. 15 — and pay for its removal.
Greg Abbott said he'd appeal the decision — and wouldn't get rid of the floating barrier unless SCOTUS tells him to.
"Governor Abbott announced that he was not 'asking for permission' for Operation Lone Star, the anti-immigration program under which Texas constructed the floating barrier.
"Thus, we intend to seek appropriate legal remedies, which may include seeking injunctive relief requiring the removal of obstructions or other structures in the Rio Grande River."
