Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s administration is filling U.S.–Mexico border barrier gaps with repurposed shipping containers, a spokesperson confirmed.
Shipping containers were deployed around Eagle Pass, Texas, starting in October to curb a surge of illegal immigrants trying to cross into the United States, Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze told news outlets. Previously, images taken along the border showed that the containers—which are generally between 10 and 40 feet in length, about 8 feet high, and 8 feet wide—being stacked along the border.
