· KRGV (NBC 5)
Ray Purifoy and Guadalupe Rodriguez, a couple living east of Brownsville, face the potential loss of their retirement home due to a proposed border wall along the Rio Grande. They built their home to enjoy the view of Mexico, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection has sent them letters indicating plans to construct a barrier that would cut through their property. The couple has been offered $5,000 for the land and presented with options to allow surveying, negotiate a sale, or face eminent domain. They intend to resist giving up their land without a court decision, stating they will not hire lawyers.
