## Resource

Construction has kicked off on a 47-mile stretch of border wall in west Texas’ remote Big Bend region, marking a major escalation in the administration’s push to build barriers along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. Despite opposition from landowners, ranchers, and environmentalists who argue the area isn’t a hotspot for crossings, contractors are moving fast — with panels already going up and supplies rolling in. Activists vow to keep fighting, even as the pace of construction accelerates nationwide, now averaging 12 miles per week — double the previous rate. Over 200 miles of new barriers have already been completed, sparking lawsuits and protests across Texas, especially in areas like Big Bend National Park, where construction was paused to engage opponents. The fight over property rights, sacred lands, and environmental impact continues to heat up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
