For months, the Trump administration’s border wall plans for Big Bend National Park existed mostly as contradictory maps, opaque contracts, and shifting (re)assurances.

As I’ve covered extensively throughout this year, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) alternately described walls, vehicle barriers, surveillance equipment, and/or paved patrol roads, while repeatedly declining to explain exactly what would be built—or where, or when.

Now, however, the heavy equipment has actually arrived.

On Tuesday, August 4, construction machinery from Southwest Valley Constructors had moved into Big Bend National Park. Contractors were photographed grading the road to Glenn Springs. A bulldozer was seen near Cottonwood Campground.

Survey crews have also been observed along roads near the Rio Grande in recent weeks, while construction staging areas have appeared just north of the national park.

Yet, local stakeholders, residents, and businessowners still don't know what the actual plans are.

"There’s no logic. It looks like they’re gonna do all sorts of things, which are almost the most destructive things that they can do for virtually no purpose," Bob Krumenaker, former Big Bend National Park Superintendent and current chair of Keep Big Bend Wild, said in an interview with Marfa Public Radio.

"There is no indication that [Customs and Border Protection] are listening. It is incredibly disheartening to see the federal government that I worked for for 41 years treat its citizens this way."

In the face of all of these genuine and serious concerns, former river ranger Michael Ryan summarized the grim reality for local Texans, many of whom rely on the national parks and the river for their livelihoods.

"Now that they’re in the park," he told the Big Bend Sentinel, "all we can really do is document all of the damage."
