A cease-and-desist order has been issued by Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham. This action is in response to work being done near Big Bend for a border wall. The issue at hand is that a contractor cleared over a mile of state-owned land without proper authorization.

The land in question is located near Big Bend, and the work was for border wall construction. Further details on this situation are available from the source, Fox 26 Houston. The cease-and-desist letters were sent to federal entities by Commissioner Buckingham, addressing the unauthorized land clearing.
