Yup. And <bleep> those butterflies too!

"Several months after President Trump was inaugurated in 2017, we began to experience aggression and harassment from Border Patrol. By this, I mean our employees and visitors were subject to illegal stops and vehicle searches, intimidation and questioning, and the unlawful denial of access to part of the property. We found this exceptionally odd, given the fact that we have been here for more than a decade and had cultivated a cooperative relationship with the local field office. At this time, we even had a pair of dedicated Border Patrol Community Liaison agents assigned to us to support communication and security.

Late that June, our director of operations, Max Muñoz, and two employees crossed the levee on our property during regular business hours to survey plants and collect seeds. They were promptly surrounded by four Border Patrol units, lights flashing and commands shouting, even though all staff vehicles are on file with Border Patrol by make, model, year, color, license plate and photographs.

One month later, on July 20, 2017, I went over the levee with a vendor only to discover five workmen from Tikigaq, an Alaskan corporation, cutting down trees, mowing vegetation and widening the dirt road on our property. When I asked them what they were doing, they explained the government had sent them to “clear this land from the levee to the river ahead of the border wall,” where we had recently planted more than 5,000 native milkweed and nectar plants to establish the Southernmost Monarch Waystation. This was nine months before any Congressional vote or appropriation authorizing border wall construction."
