Presidio vs Trump Wall Plans | Bangor News

A tiny Texas town of just 3,000 people is standing up to the Trump administration’s border wall push, arguing in court that building through their flood-prone levee system could cause catastrophic flooding—and that the government must first get approval from the Army Corps of Engineers.
