STATE LAND COMMISSIONER AUBREY DUNN SAYS U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION IS SHORT-CHANGING NEW MEXICO. DUNN SAYS THE FEDERAL AGENCY STARTED BUILDING A BORDER WALL EAST OF SANTA TERESA WITHOUT ACQUIRING THE NECESSARY RIGHT OF WAY.
THE GOVERNMENT IS OFFERING 87-HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE LAND IN QUESTION…BUT DUNN SAYS THAT’S ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT IT’S WORTH, SO HE’S REJECTING THE OFFER. IN ALL, ABOUT SEVEN ACRES OF TRUST LANDS ARE AFFECTED.
