[DAILYCALLER] President Trump’s political opponents may use existing federal laws designed to protect endangered species to stop him from building a border wall to stem the flow of illegal immigrants colonists coming from Mexico.
Environmentalists say Trump’s proposed border wall would hinder the movement of endangered species migrating through their natural, cross-border habitats, and activists aren’t above filing suit under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to stop the wall.
"We’ll of course closely review Trump’s proposal," Margie Kelly, a spokeswoman for the National Resources Defense Council, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
"Litigation is just one tool in our advocacy work, and we take nothing off the table," she said. |
