The lawsuit claims that illegal aliens have caused severe damage to the rancher’s property. As a result of President Joe Biden’s open border policies, South Texas rancher Michael Vickers is spearheading a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris administration for damages his ranch sustained.
Other plaintiffs named in the lawsuit are Kinney County and Atascosa County, as well as Kinney County’s Sheriff, Brad Coe. The recently-filed complaint alleges that the Biden administration’s non-enforcement of immigration laws and parole policies have resulted in tens of thousands of illegal aliens crossing into the country, destroying Vickers’ ranch in the process.
Vickers’ ranch lies just 70 miles north of the border. According to the lawsuit, his ranch has incurred more than $50,000 in gate and fence damages alone. He has also allegedly spent thousands more to prevent further environmental destruction.
The complaint states that illegal aliens leave trash and litter behind on Vickers’ property—affecting food and water resources for animals and livestock. In autopsies, Vickers conducted of dead cows, plastic bags and trash were found in the stomach of the cows.
Vickers is forced to always be armed with a rifle and pistol to feel safe on his own property, and his dogs have reportedly caught hundreds of criminal trespassers—including gang members from violent groups like MS13, Tangoblast, Pistoleros, and the Mexican Mafia.
