Texas Observer reporter Melissa del Bosque has uncovered new
details about the path of the border wall proposed by the Trump
administration.
In a piece published Friday,
del Bosque writes, “[A] map produced in May by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers shows where the administration expects to build 33 miles of
wall in 15 different segments, including portions that would tear
through three wildlife areas.” Other private land in the crosshairs
include churches, cemeteries, hundreds of homeowners and retirees at an
RV park.
Del
Bosque also discovered a system used by U.S. officials to make
determinations about wall construction. “The documents also reveal a
rating system the administration is using to rank the difficulty of
building each segment, based on the topography and the legal difficulty
of taking over the land,” she writes.
