CBP is pausing all construction activity in Big Bend National Park while I visit and conduct a personal, on-the-ground evaluation.
CBP is firmly committed to protecting America, and that includes our national treasures like Big Bend National Park (BBNP). We know the current and predictable national security threats and they are real. Now over the next couple of days, I will join a small team to evaluate the terrain and listen to local leadership, community members and stakeholders to ensure that we secure our borders while simultaneously protecting BBNP for generations to come.
@CBPCommissioner Thank you. Speak to the people that have been protecting this area for years and understand the situation. So many more ways to spend that money and probably even be more effective. @SheriffThad
Wasn’t the outcome we all wanted, but it was an amazing atmosphere. Baylor fans showed how to bring the energy!❤️
Thank you to @BaylorAthletics for this wonderful experience. It was such an honor to host last night’s game. Looking forward to being back in the future.
