Ray Purifoy and Guadalupe Rodriguez, a couple living near Brownsville, face the possibility of losing their retirement home due to a proposed border wall along the Rio Grande. The couple, who built their home to enjoy views of Mexico, received a letter from U.S. Customs and Border Protection outlining plans to construct a barrier that would cut through their property. They were offered $5,000 for the land but are unwilling to accept any of the options presented, including eminent domain. Purifoy, a retired Navy pilot, stated they will resist giving up their land without a court decision.
