Original Note:

The US DOJ states "[The buoys pose threats to navigation and public safety and presents humanitarian concerns," https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/two-bodies-found-alongside-abbotts-rio-grande-border-buoys/ar-AA1eJY4b https://abcnews.go.com/International/body-found-rio-grand-buoy-barrier-mexico/story?id=101974639 https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2023/07/27/texas-border-rio-grande-buoys-visual/70458101007/
