Advocates for Friendship Park are calling on local officials to appeal to the Department of Homeland Security to once again halt planned construction of border walls at the park. They said the newest version of the plan is a step backwards.
Advocate Robert Vivar said the Friends had hoped border officials would use the pause to reflect on what the park means to families like the Gallegos.
CBP declined an interview for this story. In its announcement this week, the agency said its newest plan is"an approach that meets the border security needs of the area while also addressing feedback from the community." The agency said the gate would let visitors"communicate with friends and family located in Mexico on the other side of the primary barrier like in years past."
