Just 4 days from Christmas, the Trump Administration has demanded a federal judge grant it immediate possession of the Cavazos family’s property so they can continue sprinting to build the border wall. Construction is already happening right by the property. 
If this proceeds as the government plans, the Cavazos family wouldn’t be paid just compensation before the wall comes up, and the accessibility accommodations for Fred Cavazos they’ve been fighting for just to access their own riverside land may never be fulfilled.
.@JoeBiden takes office in 29 days and has said “Not Another Foot of Wall,” yet DHS is speeding up construction and suing more landowners now. December has already had 23 lawsuits, the highest ever in one month during the entire Trump Administration, bringing to 196.
In a pandemic, during the holidays, South Texas families should not have to defend their homes in court. This is not about security, this is not safe. This is to benefit gov't contractors and funnel Black, brown and Indigenous migrants seeking safety through dangerous terrain.
On Day 1, @JoeBiden must hold firm to his promises and stop all construction, dismiss every lawsuit, and return land to the communities from where it came. To support local efforts against the wall, go to facebook.com/noborderwall and learn more.
