New Legislation Seeks to Safeguard Mount Cristo Rey from Federal Seizure

Congresswoman Veronica Escobar has introduced the Mount Cristo Rey Protection Act to prevent the federal government from using eminent domain to seize land at Mount Cristo Rey, a significant cultural and religious site. This legislation comes in response to the Trump administration's plans to acquire 14 acres for border wall construction. Mount Cristo Rey, owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces, attracts over 40,000 visitors annually for religious events. The act aims to officially recognize the site as sacred and prohibits federal funding for any border infrastructure near it. Escobar and local bishops emphasize the importance of preserving this landmark for future generations.
