A Terlingua business owner says he just turned down half a million dollars rather than help house border wall construction crews.
Contractors are offering huge sums of money to lock up lodging for wall crews, but these rural communities won't sell out to destroy their own home.

Great talking to @laikenjordahl.bsky.social about how we're going to deal with this admin over Big Bend.
BREAKING: We’re suing DHS for invoking sweeping waiver authority gutting dozens of federal laws to fast-track border wall construction in the Big Bend region.
This is an unconstitutional power grab—Congress never authorized this scale of destruction. READ: biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...
BREAKING: we're suing CBP for hiding plans to wall off Big Bend.
CBP refuses to release basic details, leaving local communities, outfitters & landowners in the dark. This wall would permanently destroy their livelihoods—and CBP won’t say a word to them.

Nobody is crossing here. Look at those cliffs.
My Q and A with @yessfun.com on the Big Bend Border wall:
