'We hope that President Biden has reflection about this,' Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee, said. 'He has a choice to make, ultimately.'
Friends of Friendship Park activists placed a cardboard cutout of President Joe Biden’s head wearing a green ball cap with the words “Save Friendship Park” onto the border wall, Feb. 20, 2023.
"CBP is in the process of modifying the contract for the replacement of the primary fence, based on the approved path forward, which includes modifying the height at the approximately 60 feet adjacent to Friendship Park to 18 feet tall," the agency said in a statement last week. CBP, however, said Friendship Park is roughly 60 feet, and the surrounding area is Border Field State Park, which is run by the state of California. The latter is getting the taller fence.Friends of Friendship Park held a rally at the border with a bit of performative theater Monday to show the effect the fence will have on the park.
“It doesn't make sense because 30 feet at Friendship Park will completely change the visual landscape,” said Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee, and it will lead to more people hurt or dying from falls off the fence.
