STARR COUNTY, Texas (Border Report) — Dusty, yellow-flowering prickly pear and the rare brown jay birds are common sights in this part of rural western Starr County. But what’s new now is a 30-foot-tall metal border wall that is going up in what were once dense ranchlands.
The son of the ranch’s landowner told Border Report on Wednesday that his family sold a section of their property to the state of Texas to be part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star border security initiative.
10,000 migrants apprehended in 48 hours, Border Patrol chief says
A spokeswoman for the Texas Facilities Commission — the state agency that manages all state-funded border wall projects — would not confirm that this new segment miles northwest of the small town of Roma is a state project.
