Amid Pushback, CBP Says It Is Placing 'Limited' Barriers, Not 30 Foot Wall, in National Park The proposal to build a border wall through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument has sparked widespread opposition from environmentalists, local communities, and some politicians.
At the center of this debate is the CBP's assertion that its planned barriers will be "limited" in scope, which many see as a euphemism for a scaled back version of the original 30 foot wall.
CBP officials claim their structure will be around six feet tall, but eyewitness accounts from journalists and residents contradict this.
