Near Big Bend in Texas, several culturally significant sites are threatened by construction related to the border wall. These include a millennia-old canyon art, a historic adobe church, and a mountain sacred to Indigenous groups. Additionally, a pilgrimage site featuring a Christ statue is located along the border area.
The construction crews are actively working on a new segment of the border wall on Kuuchamaa Mountain. This activity has raised concerns among various groups both in the U.S. and Mexico about the impact on these historic and sacred locations.
Gregory Bull captured images of the ongoing construction at Kuuchamaa Mountain on April 24, as reported by Marina E. Franco from Noticias Telemundo. August 24, 2026 marks another day of these developments that shed light on the threats posed by expanding presidential border security measures.
