'We found out because the We Build the Wall morons were posting videos.'
A patch of land in Hidalgo County, Texas, where crews have cleared the land of thick brush to make way for a border wall.
But the group that has blasted undocumented immigrants for circumventing the law has itself skirted the legal process, failing to receive proper documentation for its wall and leaving its privately funded projects, ironically, undocumented. County and international water officials charged with governing the Rio Grande and the land where the group plans to build told BuzzFeed News that We Build The Wall has not been granted any construction permits for its latest project in Mission, Texas.
Worried about the impact the new wall construction might have on fragile lands along the Rio Grande, and fearing that the group might try to once again muscle through a border wall without permits or proper oversight, the nearby National Butterfly Center told BuzzFeed News it is considering filing a lawsuit to halt construction of the barrier.
Workers and volunteers with the National Butterfly Center have seen heavy equipment clearing land up to the waters of the Rio Grande and recently observed a film crew for We Build The Wall touring the area on a Border Patrol boat.Officials with Hidalgo County, where the construction is taking place, said they have not granted permits to We Build The Wall nor received any plans or studies for the project, which would typically include watershed and flood impacts caused by the structure.
Since then, influential Trump supporters with hardline immigration views have joined We Build The Wall's board of directors, including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Donald Trump Jr. has also appeared at events in support of the group.
Trevino-Wright said she has been speaking with attorneys about a potential lawsuit to halt the project, and believes the National Butterfly Center will have to act quickly because of the pace of construction.
