Episode Details

Feds are pushing ahead with border wall plans near Big Bend Ranch State Park, despite claims they’re still in early planning — and despite earlier reports that the park was off the table. A $1.7 billion contract for wall construction in the region has sparked outrage, with environmental groups warning of ecological damage and flood risks, while lawsuits pile up. Complicating matters, a $2.6 billion contract for barriers in nearby Terlingua was also awarded, and congressional efforts to halt construction in the area failed. Conflicting statements from CBP and mounting pressure from locals and activists make this a high-stakes, fast-moving situation with serious consequences for the land and its people.
