Texans from both political parties are decrying the Trump Administration's construction of a border security project in Big Bend National Park. CNN's Ed Lavandera reports.

Thank you for helping bring attention to this Anderson

A national park becomes a construction zone. A White House becomes a staging area for favors. An economy becomes collateral damage. This is why you get money out of politics - because once donors start steering the bulldozer, nothing sacred stays standing. Big Bend today. The White House tomorrow. The rest of the country after that. Vote accordingly.

@adgirlMM The insanity of building access roads into the wilderness to stop people from crossing the wilderness is peak MAGA waste and stupidity.

Just another project to make money for Trump, his family, and his oligarch friends. Everyone knows that the only time Trump has been in a national park was to give a speech.

Probably the one thing most Americans will agree on. Don't f with the national parks. Unfortunately the tangerine man doesn't care what most Americans think.

@GregAbbott_TX why do you refuse to meet with property owners whose land is being seized by @DHSgov ?

I'd be really pissed if I went to Santa Elena Canyon on vacation and had those annoying bastards there screaming with bullhorns disturbing the peace...

Sure. But only one political party can stop. And republicans are doing NOTHING. Trump with the full collaboration of Greg Abbott is taking land from Texans through eminent domain and giving it to Mexico so he can destroy this beautiful ecosystem to build his dum(b) wall.

you can thank our fearless leaders - abbott, patrick and d(f)uckingham for allowing this

1% of illegal border crossings happen through Big Bend. That number should be ZERO. Think about a cartel member crossing through that area. That puts all of our state in danger. I'm glad Trump is finishing the Wall!

@cardon_brian I don't see Texas Republicans decrying loudly.

The reality is 17.5 Miles of new Park Road near Panther Junction, with a 4’ Retaining Wall, which is a GOOD THING. The rest is hype, from this: Outta-State, Lying, Commie, Open-Border, Get-Outta-Jail-Free, DSA PERV!

@adgirlMM Texans — be careful who and what you vote for next time. (Talking to you MAGAS and other Trump supporters.)

My father on the left with Nancy Dickerson

Money laundering That's what this is!

@ProudAFAmerican Follow the $. More waste of taxpayers $ bcuz someone pd Trump for that no bid contract. How many no bid contracts have occurred under Trump?How much taxpayer funds have been wasted so Trump can profit?WTH is GOP,Cruz on the run?WTH is Abbott?Keep electing cowards & grifters.

As if Trump cares about people.

Trump doesn’t give a hoot about anything

@adgirlMM Because ancient art & irreplaceable habitat are at risk. Literally no consideration has been given to protecting this land that very few migrants try to cross

People power is the only thing that will stop all this destruction on public lands. Rise and unite people! We have common ground like the environment. Unity is our strength! There are more of us than them.

Why do Texans vote for this?

Destroying our national legacy. This is a National Park and precious gift to all of us. No one thinks this is a security risk there.

Trump’s favorite word billions, money talks loves spending billions and making billions CORRUPTION….

It’s just patrol roads and vehicle barriers you dummy

The King of chaos and destruction strikes again!

Thank you for posting this dreadful situation. All because of the greed, spite and fear of one stinking, lying piece of scum named Donald Trump.

It’s a total grifting project on top of the pure evil destruction!!!

Seeing a Big Beautiful Wall repel wet backs will enhance your visits at Big Bend. ICE - USA - ICE - DEPORT ALL OF THEM

Hey @POTUS supporters… Are you GREAT AGAIN YET??? Waste, fraud and abuse is in the White House NOT in the streets.

You could look it it but lies are more interesting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) leaders are pushing back against widespread social media claims, clarifying that crews are not building a 30-foot high border wall through Big Bend National Park.

I’m neither party, but having roads and access to camp and watch wildlife would be a plus. Like BLM land out west. 100% support more roads.

No wall is built there

Git R Done Donald!!

@adgirlMM Yet @GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz and @JohnCornyn support this atrocity!

does anyone every have to go to work?
