Trump's Border Wall in Big Bend National Park Must Be Stopped

The Trump administration is pushing to wall of Big Bend National Park, a crown jewel of America's national heritage. The 517-mile Big Bend Sector is only a tiny slice of that vast, remote border between the United States and Mexico. Yet the DHS is rapidly moving forward with plans to wall off virtually every river access point to Big Bend National Park. This would wall off wildlife from their only water source, the Rio Grande. It would plow through cultural sites and lock the river behind a wall of steel. This administration's disdain for public lands knows no bounds. This latest threats against Big Bend is no different. It's a disturbing act of political vandalism, not security. We've been fighting against the border wall for years.
