An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop CBP Construction in Big Bend National Park

258 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

Bulldozers are tearing up the mouth of Santa Elena Canyon right now. Demand an immediate halt to all ground-disturbing activity in Big Bend National Park. CBP denied the construction was happening, then called it road regrading, then "survey work" — the agency has lied at every turn. DHS waived dozens of environmental and cultural protection laws to rush a $1.7 billion contract through, all to address a stretch of park that sees only 100 to 125 unlawful crossings per year. Even Senator John Cornyn wrote to Homeland Security asking for a pause. If this project were defensible, CBP could explain it honestly. It can't, because it isn't.
