Bodies found in Rio Grande spur criticism of US-Mexico border policies

The discovery of two bodies in a river on the United States-Mexico border has spurred criticisms that a floating barrier erected by the Republican leader of Texas is endangering migrants and asylum seekers.

Mexican authorities announced on Thursday that they had discovered the bodies of two people in the Rio Grande, one of them stuck in a group of buoys installed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop people from crossing into the US.
