Bulldozers have begun decimating the landscape of Big Bend National Park, one of the nation’s most beloved parklands.
DHS has awarded $7 billion for border wall construction contracts in the Big Bend Sector overall.
The U.S. Border Patrol’s Big Bend Sector covers 517 miles of the U.S.–Mexico border along the Rio Grande.
Big Bend National Park accounts for about 118 miles of this international boundary.
“We won’t stop fighting this reckless assault on Big Bend National Park and America’s national heritage until this destruction ends.”
