La Lomita Chapel in Mission saved from being cut off behind border wall
· KRGV (NBC 5)
La Lomita Chapel in Mission, a historic site integral to the city's identity, will not be isolated by the border wall as initially feared. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar announced that the wall will be constructed behind the chapel, closer to the Rio Grande, alleviating concerns about the chapel's future. Cuellar has worked to protect significant sites from border wall construction, securing protections in the 2020 appropriations bill. However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may still proceed with construction near the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. Local leaders express mixed feelings about the wall's impact on the community and environment.
