Reconsider Operation Lone Star funding for community benefit.

The allocation of nearly $10 billion for Operation Lone Star, including the installation of concertina wire, a floating barrier, and a wall of shipping containers, has raised concerns. Residents of Eagle Pass, Texas, initially supportive, now question the operation's human rights implications and ecological impact. Reports of migrants injured by the wire and denied water by troopers are alarming. The City Council has rescinded an agreement allowing trooper arrests in a local park. It is crucial to reconsider this operation's funding and redirect it towards public services that directly benefit the community. The current approach not only raises ethical questions but also seems to be a mismanagement of public funds.
