The Justice Department placed an online job posting for a pair of attorneys to tackle border wall litigation in South Texas a sign of coming property seizures and other legal controversies that President Donald Trump anticipates if he plows ahead with his signature project.
Trump has demanded that Congress provide $5.7 billion to build more than 200 miles of new and replacement barriers along the border. But those efforts will likely run into opposition from local landowners, environmentalists and Native American tribes.
The federal government has been partially shut down for 27 days over Trumps $5.7 billion border wall request, but the administration already faces thorny lawsuits from border residents who have resisted wall construction. High-profile cases in South Texas involve a butterfly sanctuary and the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville, which owns property with a small chapel in the path of planned wall construction.
Thats where the lawyers come into play.
The two advertised jobs, based in McAllen and Brownsville, will pay between $53,062 and $138,790, according to a posting to a federal jobs website.

It’s a two for one. RATs will get crushed by this shutdown eventually . They will be either forced to break or thrown out in the 2020 elections. Once they are broken or tossed out we will see some genuine immigration reform that actually helps America.
I will throw in enough free land for a border patrol sub-station.
Pick my location please...
Uh, doesn’t the DOJ work FOR Trump?
I suspect most will, but of course we’ll only hear from those who fight.
Watch now the left suddenly discovers that it’s against eminent domain.
Would be interesting to see the bank records of property owners who fight the wall. Might be some interesting deposits from the cartels.
