“For months, I’ve been documenting the #DHS & their masked contractors installing buoys in the Rio Grande,” Bekah Hinojosa, a co-founder of the South #Texas Environmental Justice Network (SOTXEJN) [said]... “The Dept of Homeland Security is not being clear intentionally about what their plans are, what they’re deploying in the region, and so it’s up to us in the #community to track and document and #report on it.
This is how we fight back.”
