Butterfly Sanctuary Won't Go Down Without a Fight Article

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/2/12/1834165/-Butterfly-sanctuary-won-t-go-down-without-a-fight-flies-into-federal-court?detail=emaildkre

snip of article:

The Texas Observer is reporting that lawyers for the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas, have asked a federal judge to press pause on a section of Trump’s border wall that would cut through the sanctuary’s privately owned land. Since December, the center has been threatened by Trump’s planned wall. After conservationists were dismissed by the Supreme Court in their attempts to slow the process down, bulldozers began arriving on the privately owned land at the beginning of February. Local indigenous tribes—who have long opposed Trump’s dumb wall— have organized and joined protestors at the sanctuary.

doing his show from there. Might be interesting since his is the first major newscaster to go there and bring it to the forefront. Good on him for doing that.

I can't wait to see how that show goes.
