A steel border wall over 150 miles long is slated to begin construction as early as June 2026 through Big Bend National Park + Big Bend Ranch State Park, complete with cameras, detection technology and lighting.

Militarized border infrastructure in Big Bend would fragment one of North America’s most biodiverse desert ecosystems and threaten the native species that call this region home. The wall will directly impact:

• 116 miles of Big Bend National Park + surrounding scenic areas
• access to land for local wildlife including mountain lions, Mexican black bears + other migratory species
• the $56.8 million local economy
• access to Big Bend National Park Hot Springs + numerous trails
• 20 miles of riverfront state park land
• access to river trips on Colorado Canyon
• the gorgeous, unlit night sky

To fast track border wall construction. the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has waived 28 laws. Regulations and laws meant to protect our ecosystem and history — the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act —are being bypassed.

Big Bend remains one of the last largely undeveloped, wild landscapes along the southern border. We must act now. We must protect Big Bend.

Contact your reps — let them know we need to protect our history, our land, and the animals whom we share this planet with. Script in bio.

This week, ICE purchased a 639,595 square-foot warehouse on San Antonio’s East Side at 542 SE Loop 410 for $66.1M from Atlanta-based Oakmont Industrial Group.

With more than 900,000 Hispanic residents, our city reflects one of the largest Hispanic populations in Texas. We cannot have a detention center open in San Antonio.

Here are steps you can take to show your opposition —

Call District 28 Congressman Henry Cuellar and urge him to vote against DHS funding and oppose this detention center.
offices —
San Antonio | 210-271-2851
Rio Grande City | 956-487-5603
Laredo | 956-725-0639

Call State Representative for House District 120 Barbara Gervin-Hawkins and demand she use her authority to slow and regulate the facility’s development.

Thank you to District 2 councilmember for providing actionable steps to help keep our community safe.

Stay strong, SA. ✊
