Sacred Land Faces Border Wall Threat
Description
The feds just got the green light to seize 14 acres of sacred Catholic land at Mount Cristo Rey — a major pilgrimage site for locals — to build a border wall, sparking outrage from the Diocese of Las Cruces. Despite the Church’s protests that the site’s spiritual significance would be irreparably harmed, a judge allowed the $183,000 seizure, placing the funds in a court account while legal battles continue. The government insists the wall won’t block access, but critics argue it’s a symbol of division on holy ground. A hearing is set for July 23rd — and the future of this iconic mountain hangs in the balance.
