However, the Trump Administration is disregarding the intent of the law and building his ineffective border wall next to this landmark- jeopardizing our history, our culture and our environment. We can’t let him get away with it.
I worked hard to include language in the 2020 Appropriations bill that prohibits any border construction within a number of sites in South Texas, including Eli Jackson Cemetery. https://t.co/A8DEusJIQc

However, those who have resorted to violence and looting are distinct opportunists who’s tactics are distracting from the true purpose of the legitimate peaceful protests. (2/3)
A President’s role is not to use the shameful acts of a few in order to respond with indiscriminate force against all citizens, but rather defend democracy, not violate or deprive it. (3/3)
Those who chose to express their first amendment right to protest peacefully in South Texas, DC, and across the country, I maintain my support for them to do so. (1/3)
