ALERT: DHS just quietly issued the largest border wall contract in American history, slicing right through the heart of Big Bend National Park. $1.7 billion to destroy our natural heritage, to wall off a congressionally protected national park and wild & scenic river, to obliterate the most cherished public land in all of Texas—all in a place where virtually nobody is crossing the border.

🚨 Florida just shut down its “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE detention center after spending close to $1 billion on it. The facility was built in 8 days last July on a small airport runway in the Everglades. Governor Ron DeSantis used emergency powers to throw it up. Trump called it a model for other states. Florida has been spending more than $1 million a day to operate it. The state put in $608 million upfront. Then another $300 million in operating costs. The federal government has not reimbursed a dollar — the money is tied up in court over environmental lawsuits and the inhumane conditions inside. Of the 1,400 people held there, 900 have no criminal record. That’s nearly two out of every three detainees. People with no convictions. Held in a tent city in a swamp. Rep. Maxwell Frost, who toured the facility, called it “a failed experiment in human suffering.” DeSantis’s own assessment: “If we shut the lights out tomorrow, we will be able to say it served its purpose.” What was the point of DOGE?
