flag CBP replaces border wall plans in Texas parks with surveillance tech amid environmental concerns.

flag U.S. Customs and Border Protection has removed plans for a physical border wall in Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, replacing it with detection technology on updated maps. flag The change, not formally announced, follows pressure from Texas lawmakers and conservationists concerned about environmental damage and the region’s ecological significance. flag While CBP says the area remains in planning and coordination continues with federal and state agencies, construction is still slated for a 175-mile stretch nearby, including steel bollards and surveillance infrastructure. flag Local officials and advocacy groups remain cautious, questioning whether the shift reflects a permanent policy change or a tactical adjustment. flag The Department of Homeland Security has not commented.
