The Dworkin Report - They Made The Trump Regime Blink

Anna Claire Beasley is a 29-year-old photographer from Terlingua, Texas—a town of about 150 people. In February, she found out the regime had waived 28 environmental laws to clear a path for a 30-foot-tall, 150-mile-long border wall straight through Big Bend National Park. She felt she had to do something. So she started a petition.

The response was overwhelming. More than 119,000 signatures by the time she personally delivered it to members of Congress in Washington on April 17.

The petition was just the beginning. Five border-county sheriffs—Democrats and Republicans—issued a joint statement declaring that a physical wall “would not represent the most practical or strategic approach to border security.” Over 40 Texas lawmakers demanded Gov. Greg Abbott urge the regime to kill the project.

And the pressure kept building. Two thousand people protested at the Texas Capitol grounds, where Big Bend park ranger Michael Ryan said: “It’s not construction. It’s destruction.”
