Episode Details

Congresswoman Veronica Escobar just dropped a bold new bill to protect Mount Cristo Rey — a sacred mountain near the U.S.-Mexico border — from being seized for a border wall. The Mount Cristo Rey Protection Act blocks federal funds from being used in lawsuits against the Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces or for building or maintaining any border wall infrastructure on or near the site. This culturally and spiritually significant landmark, revered by generations on both sides of the border, is being targeted for land acquisition — a move the diocese and local community see as a direct attack on unity. The bill is a legal and moral stand to preserve this holy ground from division, not division.
