## Resource

A New Mexico judge greenlit the government’s deposit of funds to seize land from the Catholic Diocese near the U.S.-Mexico border, but the Diocese vows to fight — arguing the proposed border barrier on Mount Cristo Rey violates their religious beliefs and sacred practices. They claim the rushed construction bypasses due process and threatens spiritual access, while supporters from El Paso and Arizona join the legal challenge, stressing the border’s already secure monitoring and the cultural harm of physical barriers. The government, citing the Taking Act, plans to install infrastructure for enhanced security — but the Diocese insists this sacred land’s future remains under legal and moral scrutiny.
