The Trump administration claims road repairs are underway in preparation for border security work at a national park. Local residents, however, argue that illegal crossings are rare in the area’s remote cliffs and canyons.
Last week, federal contractors began constructing a border barrier near Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park. This location is known for its unspoiled Texas landscape, rich historical significance, and diverse ecosystems.
The area’s tranquility is now affected by a border security law enacted two decades ago. This law is being enforced more rigorously, raising concerns among locals about its impact on the environment and heritage.
