BREAKING: DHS IS BULLDOZING MARISCAL MOUNTAIN. This is the first truly irreversible damage to Big Bend, plowing over endangered cactus species and carving wounds into our national park that will never heal. DHS: why the FUCK are you building a "patrol & enforcement road" HERE:

This is an infringement on Texas and all Americans. Where are all the "Don't tread on me" Texans whose land is being destroyed by the Federal government, so rich donors can profit off their backs?

I fully believe there is something more nefarious going on involving DHS, this administration, and Trump’s oligarch buddies.

My daughter lives in Terlingua. She says people are losing hope and they are heartbroken. No one wants this. And everyone knows it's pointless and completely unnecessary.

Where were you when Organ Pipe National Monument was being used under Biden for illegals to cross. So many Saguaro Cacti were destroyed, land was trashed, do they could smuggle in people and drugs. You people are such frauds with your fake outrage.

Only conclusion a compassionate human being w/the ability to think critically can come to is it’s a deliberate *F* you to the majority in this country that **value** our natural resources. Power move. They’re doing it simply because they can. Which should have each of us at 👇

Texas Magats love Abbott, Cruze & Trump! They can do anything they want. Big Bend is simply the next reflecting pool. An easy way to transfer billions of taxpayer dollars to their friends. Vote in November! 👍 🌮 🇷🇺 🇮🇱

The Epstein Class needs the infrastructure to extract resources they now think they own. And new ways to move drugs and trafficking.

They decide what they want and destruct first. And keep going without having clear title, local engagement, or plan to prevent the unintended consequences of their actions. It’s a repeated story for this administration.

It makes you wonder what they’re actually doing. It’s not a wall. Could it be massive bunkers deep inside solid granite?

Against the court order that says DHS must give 30 days notice. But, hey, don't everybody jump into action at once. A real Texas AG would be asking for injuctions in every court in the land. Paton is a slimy bastard, not a real Texas AG.

Our national parks are enshrined by law “For the benefit and enjoyment of the people” and “For future generations”. Trump doesn’t care about the current generation, just the dollars he can dig out of us until 2028. Trump and his supporters are a disgrace. Vote Republicans out!

Remember these guys? They faced actual consequences for toppling a single rock formation. And now Trump is going to get away with this massive destruction.

Since CBP is carving away at Mariscal Mountain in total secrecy, with no analysis or public process, lets set the record straight on exactly what they are doing to Mariscal Mountain in Big Bend National Park. This excerpt is from a report Glenn Smith put together analyzing CBP's current standards for V.5 patrol roads —and what those standards will mean on the ground as they ramp up their permanent destruction of Mariscal Mountain: If CBP persists with plans to build a road up and over Mariscal Mountain, the road has to climb 1,546 feet. The standards cap the grade at 20 percent. Anything over 15 percent must be concrete, poured on site. That would mean a batch plant and water hauled into the desert. If the terrain won’t allow 20 percent grade, the standards let CBP reclassify the segment as a “maintenance road” with up to a 70 percent grade, roughly the pitch of a standard staircase. Such a maintenance road would be permanently closed to the public. But the grade isn’t the hard part. To build a road across a mountainside you dig into the slope. That leaves a wall of rock standing above the roadway. It has to lean back or it comes down on the road. CBP’s standards cap that lean at one foot back for every two feet of height, a fifty percent face. I measured the east flank of Mariscal against USGS elevation data. It reaches sixty percent. When the mountain rises faster than the wall leans back, the wall never reaches the surface. The digging has no end point. It just goes further into the mountain. To hold any of those grades the road needs switchbacks and, in the standards’ own words, “extensive cut-and-fill operations.” That means tons after tons after tons of rock removed. On steep ground the cheapest way to move rock is to push it over the downhill edge, and the further the road climbs the cheaper that gets. Below Mariscal’s rim there is no bench and no catchment. It’s straight down to the Rio Grande. Which leaves two ways to build it. They could line the road with concrete walls on the mountain side, which their own standards call for and which would mean miles of concrete they have never mentioned. Or they could cut the rock nearly vertical where it rises above the road, which exceeds what the standards allow and requires a filed exception. In that limestone the usual way you do it is with explosives, and CBP says it isn't going to blast the mountain. The patrol roads require a permanent, industrial operation within the park. This is something Big Bend National Park has never suffered. And it is an unnecessary because as the park’s rugged country of high canyon walls, dangerous deserts and well-known law enforcement presence have made it the least likely place in the region for suspect border crossings. No, this isn’t about border security. It is a U.S. president trying to turn the Rio Grande into another reflecting pool for his ego. CBP has refused to make its actual plans and specifications public. But the above gives a picture of what its standards could mean for Big Bend National Park.
