    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government reported for the first time Wednesday that a body was spotted along the floating barrier that Texas Gov.

    The department said Mexico had warned about the risks posed by the bright orange, wrecking ball-sized buoys on the Rio Grande.

    “We made clear our concern about the impact on migrants’ safety and human rights that these state policies would have,” the department said in a statement.

    The buoys are the latest escalation of Texas’ border security operation that also includes razor-wire fencing and arresting migrants on trespassing charges.

    Over the Fourth of July weekend, before the buoys were installed, four people, including an infant, drowned in the river near Eagle Pass.
