As Chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources, I am writing to request your support in protecting federal public lands and resources in Texas from being used for or impacted by this decision.

  • New Engineering Report Finds Privately Built Border Wall Will Fail
    New Engineering Report Finds Privately Built Border Wall Will Fail by Jeremy Schwartz and Perla Trevizo This article is co-published with The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan local newsroom that informs and engages with Texans. Sign up for The Brief weekly to get up to speed on their essential coverage of Texas issues. It’s not a matter of if a privately built border fence along the shores of the Rio Grande will fail, it’s a matter of when, according to a new engineering report on the troubled project. The report is one of two new studies set to be filed in federal court this week that found numerous deficiencies in the 3-mile border fence, built this year by North Dakota-based Fisher Sand and Gravel. The reports confirm earlier reporting from ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, which found that segments of the structure were in danger of overturning due to extensive erosion if not fixed and properly maintained. Fisher dismissed the concerns as normal post-construction issues. Donations that paid for part of the border fence are at the heart of an indictment against members of the We Build the Wall nonprofit, which raised more than $25 million to help President Donald Trump build a border wall. Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon, We Build the Wall founder Brian Kolfage and two others connected to the organization are accused of siphoning donor money to pay off personal debt and fund lavish lifestyles. All four, who face up to 20 years in prison on each of the two counts they face, have pleaded not guilty, and Bannon has called the charges a plot to stop border wall construction.

    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Subcommittee on National Security, International Development and Monetary Policy Committee on Financial Services United States House of Representatives Dollars against Democracy: Domestic Terrorist Financing in the Aftermath of Insurrection February 25, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Now in our 50th year, the SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people. SPLC lawyers have worked to shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. We have helped dismantle vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBTQ+ community, and the disabled, and worked to protect low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation. The SPLC began tracking white supremacist activity in the 1980s, during a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and other organized extremist hate groups. Today, the SPLC is the premier U.S. nonprofit organization monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists. In the early 1990s, the SPLC launched its pioneering Teaching Tolerance program to provide educators with free, anti-bias classroom resources, such as classroom documentaries and lesson plans. Now renamed Learning For Justice, our program reaches millions of schoolchildren with award-winning curricula and other materials that promote understanding of our nation’s history and respect for others, helping educators create inclusive, equitable school environments.

  • Civil Religion?
    MAVCOR Journal (mavcor.yale.edu) Trump’s Wall: A Monument of (Un)Civil Religion? Lloyd Barba In an era of deep soul searching, many have taken it upon themselves to right our nation’s commemorative record by removing public monuments that honor Confederate generals. Among the most notable critics of these recent undertakings is President Trump, calling these material markers (of the likes of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson) “beautiful” and accusing the iconoclasts of ripping apart “the history and culture of our great country.”1 All the while, at a time when local and state municipalities are deciding on the fate of controversial statues, Trump has relentlessly pushed for a “monument” that could not be torn down or simply relocated: the wall.2 Civil Religion The rhetoric and rituals surrounding the wall suggest that the President is proposing the wall as a monument in honor of a particular kind of “civil religion.” Trump speaks from the nation’s most powerful platform, according him a measure of influence that others do not possess. Because of this, he receives massive support and his policies, once passed, are those of the nation, though they might not reflect the sentiments of many people. The wall itself is designed, quite literally, to divide people; nobody contests this point. Given the divisive nature of his form of nationalism, his throngs of “court evangelicals,” variegated rituals buttressing his rhetoric, and his presidential power to materialize his beliefs, those who oppose Trump may very well label his brand of civil religion as uncivil religion.3 His wall brings into sharp relief the contested nature of monuments that use division as a marker of national unity.

As mountains ​ ​ ​ of evidence on his abuse of power in Ukraine have now conclusively proven, Trump used the office ​ of the president to pervert U.S. foreign policy for his personal gain. But it’s not just Ukraine. While the impeachment inquiry may be limited in scope, Trump’s corruption is not — Trump has ​ repeatedly manipulated U.S. foreign policy for his own, private interests. In scandal after ​ scandal after scandal, many of which don’t live in the headlines long, it has become clear that the only consistent piece of Trump’s otherwise erratic foreign policy is a drive for personal financial and political benefit. It’s difficult to predict exactly what the ripple effects of this corrupted approach to foreign relations will ​ be, but one thing is certain: it won’t be what’s best for peace, justice, and human security. TIME AFTER TIME On Tuesday, George Nader, a lobbyist for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the private military firm Blackwater, was charged with funneling $3.5 million in illegal campaign contributions, including ​ ​ ​ ​ $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. So it’s no coincidence that Nader has strengthened his close ties with members of the Trump administration’s inner-circle, including Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, since 2016. It’s easy to forget that Nader was also part of a secret scheme, along with ​ ​ ​ ​ Elliot Broidy, to set up a backchannel with the crown princes of Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Trump in exchange for lucrative contracts from the Gulf monarchies.

  • Law and Order As the Foundational Paradox of the Trump Presidency
    Stanford Law Review Online Volume 73 June 2021 SYMPOSIUM ESSAY Law and Order as the Foundational Paradox of the Trump Presidency Trevor George Gardner* Abstract. This Essay scrutinizes the feuding between the Trump White House and various federal law enforcement agencies, concurrent with criminal lawbreaking in the Trump Administration, in an effort to extend scholarly understanding of the relationship between law-and-order politics and popular regard for rule-of-law principles. Sociolegal scholars have long argued that the politics advanced under the banner of “law and order” reduces the whole of the criminal–legal order to minority violent crime. In doing so, these politics stoke white racial anxieties regarding one or more racial minority groups. But under the Trump regime, law-and-order politics exhibited an additional benefit to its purveyors: obfuscation of the threat to the criminal– legal order posed by the very purveyors of these politics. This is to say that the criminal offending of the Trump campaign and Administration would likely have been more politically damaging to the Administration had much of the public not been fixated on Trump’s allegation of a rising tide of minority violent crime. Moreover, this same reductive logic has badly damaged the political standing of Black Lives Matter. It has often reduced the Black Lives Matter organization—effectively, a rule-of-law campaign targeting extra-legal police violence—to the limited instances of violent crime found at the margins of Black Lives Matter protest activity. * Professor of Law, Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. This Essay was written for the 2021 Policing, Race, and Power Symposium hosted by the Stanford Law Review and the Stanford Black Law Students Association, and for the cross-journal Reckoning and Reformation Symposium.
