Trump Begins Border Wall Construction in Big Bend National Park
Bulldozers began clearing land inside the park this week to make way for new physical barriers. Trump is moving forward with construction despite previous delays. Federal maps and agency documents indicate that the project includes blasting through Mariscal Mountain to create a new patrol road. Trump previously removed the project from plans following earlier opposition. Bloomberg characterized the current activity as a brazen shift in border security actions within the park. A bipartisan group of Texas lawmakers expressed criticism over the construction in the Big Bend region. They cited concerns for the park's environment and local economy. Residents and conservationists described the sight of bulldozers ripping into the park as heartbreaking. The project involves building a 30 foot tall wall through rugged sections of the park.
