The Trump administration bulldozed a 1,000-year-old archaeological site, the Las Playas Intaglio, to build a second border wall. The action has drawn widespread criticism.
- The site was destroyed to make way for a second border wall. - Over $11 billion has been allocated for barriers and surveillance.
- Construction bypasses environmental laws and protections. - Activists, national park staff, and tribal nations have expressed alarm.
The administration defends the move as necessary for national security, but critics call it a desecration of sacred land.
