Trump's border wall deal you can't refuse

The Trump administration delivered a message to landowners in Redford, Texas, on Tuesday, stating they must cooperate on border wall construction or it will proceed anyway. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been mailing packets offering $1,000 to $5,000 for initial access, sometimes with inaccurate survey lines or owner information. This pressure is leading to rushed work, infuriating local residents, ranchers, and the tourism industry in west Texas. Construction companies plan to start work in June, coinciding with the rainy season, to meet a goal of finishing by December 2027. Landowners like Yolanda Alvarado face proposals that would cut off family homes and cemeteries, raising concerns about safety and property access.
