Denial of Presidential Permit for the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas

Trump denies permit for proposed Kickapoo bridge crossing at Eagle Pass on the U.S.-Mexico border

Jan 14·View on Federal Register

Key Points

Trump denied a request from the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas to build and run a new bridge crossing at the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas.
This decision blocks the project from moving forward under a Presidential permit needed for certain border-crossing projects.
The State Department advised against approving it, saying it was not in the United States’ foreign policy interest.
For people and businesses in the area, this likely means no new bridge option there for commercial and personal vehicles through this proposed crossing.
The memo directs the Secretary of State to notify the Tribe of the denial and publish the decision publicly.
