New Mexico town cites landowner for building crowdfunded border wall without permit: report

The man who allowed a private group to build a portion of a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border in Sunland Park, N.M., is reportedly being charged with illegally constructing without a permit and could now face jail time.

George Cudahy, owner of American Eagle Brick Factory, allowed the group We Build The Wall to use his property to build a portion of the wall but apparently did so without first securing the proper permits, according to KFOX 14.

The city of Sunland Park filed a criminal complaint last month, and Cudahy failed to appear in court for his initial hearing last week. The city will reportedly file a criminal summons if Cudahy misses his next hearing.

Sunland Park officials are alleging the wall portion was built illegally.

If convicted, Cudahy could face a maximum of three months in jail for building without a permit.

The city made clear the legal action is against Cudahy, not We Build the Wall, a private group largely operational due to money raised through a GoFundMe page.

Sunland Park’s mayor also filed a cease-and-desist order aimed at stopping the group from continuing with the project.

After completing a portion of the 18-foot-tall wall, the group was ordered to keep its gate open indefinitely after failing to obtain the proper permits.

Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) and former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, two high-profile supporters of the project, were in attendance last month when the group unveiled a half-mile stretch of the privately funded border wall.

Is this really true?

[hal ogen]

If true, send in the Marines to seize the town and arrest the town “officials” for aiding and abetting the criminal illegal alien invaders. What anti-American losers.

Give me the long list of other unpermitted construction projects in Sunland.

[Regulator]

Would these Real Americans do such a thing?

Sunland City Council

Perish the thought.

They stopped the project for no permits. 3 days later they gave the ok to finish.

[DannyTN]

I thought Build the Wall said they secured all the necessary permits.

Apparently true

On the YouTube video where “Foreman Mike” is giving a tour of the new wall, he mentions that Mr. Cudahy and employees of his have been assaulted numerous times by illegals, and that he had become afraid to even walk from one building to another. So, the city officials who are now on their high horses about permits utterly failed to protect one of their citizens from very predictable crimes, but can’t prosecute him fast enough when he simply tries to do something to protect himself, and in the process protect the nation as a whole.

These people are pathetic, driven only by their political ideology.

I rest my case, women and politics...

Some get it. Too many do not, at all.

We have been exporting enhanced/ or in a trance bikers, hikers, walkers and painters from Californicator land to New Mexico for over 2 decades.

Sunland in Florida was the institutions for housing the retarded until the institutions were emptied out.

"They stopped the project for no permits. 3 days later they gave the ok to finish."

..... That's what I heard .... And I thought the town rushed through the permits so they could complete the project.

Women have different priorites from men based on biology. They seek protection and to make everyone be nice.

The idiocy of Democrats boggles the mind.

[JoSixChip]

The city made clear the legal action is against Cudahy, not We Build the Wall,

Their goal is to punish Cudahy and make it clear to other land owners that if they cooperate, it will be costly. Win or lose, this will cost Cudahy a bundle. He should set-up a GoFundMe page, I'll donate.
