    I thought that the treaty from the Spanish-American War made the Rio Grande neutral territory. Any land that appears in the middle of the river doesn’t belong to either country.

    Unless there have been other treaties that I didn’t learn about in my history classes, the buoys technically are infringement on neutral territory.
