La Lomita Chapel in Mission saved from being cut off behind border wall
· KRGV (NBC 5)
La Lomita Chapel in Mission, a historic site that inspired the city's name, 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 provisions in the 2020 appropriations bill. However, the Department of Homeland Security may still proceed with construction plans that could affect access to the chapel and the river for local residents. The situation remains fluid as legislation is pending.
