The private nonprofit advocacy group We Build The Wall has been told to stop building a border wall on private property in South Texas on the Rio Grande, Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez, and an official with the International Boundary and Water Commission told Border Report on Tuesday.
“The government is going to stop them from building the wall. There’s apparently been a violation of the [U.S.-Mexico Water] Treaty,†Cortez said via phone.
ally Speener, secretary of the U.S. section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, which oversees that the treaty is properly followed, told Border Report that IBWC sent a letter to We Build The Wall on Friday asking them to stop construction of a private border wall until the project can be fully reviewed to ensure it does not violate international laws.
“Anything that might deflect flood water into Mexico — like a border wall on the riverbank — is a treaty violation,†Sierra Club Borderlands co-chairman Scott Nicol said.
