🚨BREAKING: The Catholic Church is trying to STOP border wall construction & seizure of its land by eminent domain in New Mexico! President Trump's administration is planning to seize the land in Sunland Park, NM, and construct a wall over the mountain, connecting it to a privately funded border wall built in 2019 seen in this video.
Baptist News reports that the Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces, N.M., is challenging the government over its plans for the wall.
"The federal government has its eye on a stretch along the southern base of Mount Cristo Rey, a site topped by a 29-foot limestone statue of Jesus visited by 40,000 people a year. The diocese said the proposed seizure by eminent domain would desecrate the holy site and violate the diocese’s religious freedom. The site is located in far southeastern New Mexico near El Paso," the report says.
According to the report, “The diocese will use all legal tools at its dispose to stop these heavy-handed tactics.”
The government says the area is known for human trafficking, and that it wants to build the wall, "roads, fences and other structures to ‘help secure’ the border.” The government is offering $180,000, fair market value, for the property.
"The government initially identified a 1.3-mile section it wanted to seize but on May 7 increased that to 14 acres of the diocese’s property along the border with Mexico," the report added.
The Catholic Church facilitated the invasion! Build the wall & secure the border!!! That's more important than a statue! Build it! Law & Order & Safety! America!!! 💥💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
