Mexican officials filed a letter to the U.S. government Friday with complaints that the floating barriers in the Rio Grande River on the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas may violate international treaties, according to The Associated Press.

Alicia Bárcena, Mexico’s Foreign Relations secretary, said the country will send an inspection team to the river to evaluate if the barriers violate two treaties, which require that the river be unimpeded......

Last week, a Texas kayaking company sued the state over the buoys, saying they illegally harm its business by preventing access to the river.
