## Resource

A new 30-foot steel border wall is rising near El Paso’s historic Hart’s Mill, threatening to disrupt the legacy of Don Juan de Oñate’s 1598 expedition and El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro—a route poised for UNESCO recognition. Just yards from nonprofit Abara, which offers humanitarian aid and education, construction crews are already at work, adding razor wire to existing fences. With nearly $1.6 billion spent on border infrastructure in the El Paso Sector—including a “Smart Wall” tech system—officials remain silent on where this new barrier will stand or how it might impact Abara’s land and future campus plans. The community fears losing irreplaceable historical connections as development accelerates without transparency.
