Texas Landowners Battle Trump Over Border Wall Seizures | JQJO

Texas landowners are battling President Trump's administration in court over eminent domain lawsuits to seize their land for a border wall. Residents of Starr County, like Alejo Clarke and Raquel Oliva, argue the wall will sever access to their land used for farming and hunting, offering inadequate compensation. The government claims the wall is crucial for border security and mass deportations, citing national security concerns. These cases are complex due to fragmented land ownership, with some involving numerous defendants or unknown heirs. While the administration defends the wall's necessity, landowners fight to protect their generational property and livelihoods.
