Judge's order fails to halt privately funded border wall construction

Construction of a private section of border wall in Mission, Texas, is continuing despite a district judge's Tuesday decision to temporarily block the work, The Guardian reported Saturday.

The expected 3.5-mile-long private section of border wall is being funded by We Build the Wall, a nonprofit organization founded by U.S. Air Force Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Brian Kolfage that has raised more than $25 million since its start in December 2018.

Workers were moving soil, digging trenches and positioning the physical wall on Thursday and Friday after Vasquez's ruling

If there really is a court order, it has apparently not been served to the guys building.

Who gives a shi! with court orders. Everything constitutional has been broken down or destroyed that these judges can go suck a banana. Does that jackass judge have an army to stop them or maybe Texas will give him a real headache.

This is how anyone, including Trump, should answer these judges.

They/he/she has ruled. Let they/he/she enforce it.

According to leftists/dems, walls will not stop illegals but walls will stop butterflies.

This sanctuary is noiot very old. It was an onion field. All the butterflies were brought in. Not “natural” in any way.

The Dems only obey the laws they want, so why should anyone else obey the law.

Or between the individual bollards, the butterflies I have around here fly through the 2”x 4” mesh wire I use to keep the deer out of the gardens.

Pretty aerodynamic little suckers, from the little bitty grey ones to the great big Monarchs and Swallowtails

I seem to remember Zero ignoring court orders all the time, and nothing was done. Glad to see we’re following suit.

Swallowtails!
We had lots of those here this summer!
Seems like the Monarchs were not flying through our area.
Maybe next year!

Irreparably harmed the butterfly habitat? Did they pave it over with concrete? No? than any native plants harmed can be replanted. Does the fence keep the butterflies from migrating?
From what I see they could fly over quite easily but if they were lay and unambitious like democrats they could just fly through it. Sorry I call ‘Just can’t give a damn’ on it.

It isn’t so much a concern for
the butterflies as the border
wall will cut right thru the
sanctuary.
From an article I was reading
in The Guardian;
“Many of the properties people choose to visit to see birds, butterflies and threatened and endangered species are all going to be behind the border wall. For us, the economic impact is potentially catastrophic.”
From what I’ve read elsewhere, there will
be gates installed that will allow access
to both sides of the wall while the refuge
is open.
