“We are just heartbroken.” That was the reaction from the National Parks Conservation Association after bulldozers moved through Big Bend National Park, and now the work has suddenly stopped. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott says he has paused all construction activity inside the park while he heads to Big Bend for a personal, on-the-ground evaluation. In this episode of the Edward R. Murrow winning podcast “Immigration Crisis: The Fight for the Southern Border,” Emmy winning investigative reporter Yami Virgin, Photojournalist Paul Sanchez and Investigative Producer Natalie Medina, examine the sudden pause and speaks with Cary Dupuy about potentially irreversible impacts to the park, water, wildlife and dark skies, as questions remain about what the federal government ultimately plans to build across the Big Bend region.
