## Resource

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham is firing legal warnings at federal agencies after contractors allegedly bulldozed over a mile of state land near Big Bend without permission—claiming it was for border wall construction. The state insists this violates land use rules and isn’t about security, but about sovereignty. Locals, already fighting environmental damage fears like flooding in the pristine Big Bend region, see this as a win for accountability. The General Land Office vows to pursue legal action, while Customs and Border Protection remains silent. This clash underscores deeper tensions over federal vs. state authority—and questions whether such infrastructure is even needed in an area with historically low migrant crossings.
