A bipartisan group of West Texas sheriffs issued a joint statement today opposing plans for border wall building in the Big Bend region: facebook.com/PresidioCounty… They say a wall would "not represent the most practical or strategic approach to border security in this area."

We’ve asked @CBP for comment on this but yes, the current Smart Wall map now shows multiple “Primary Border Wall System” (green line) projects suddenly gone. For reference - map looked like this last week: marfapublicradio.org/news/2026-02-2…

Updated map of border wall on Border Patrol website now shows CBP plans to use detection technology instead of a physical wall through Big Bend!

A word of caution on Big Bend border wall maps... the map started showing a physical barrier in the natl park 3 weeks ago. Now it's showing "detection technology" again. The map is not binding & we're seeing it change day by day. I wouldn't assume this current iteration is final.

In Presidio County - an official’s bid for higher office has led to a political dustup after he was removed from his seat by the very person he could face off against in next year’s mid-term elections. Details from @MarfaRadio's new reporter @mkcant: marfapublicradio.org/news/2025-10-1…

A new class at Marfa ISD is teaching @marfashorthorns the tradition of conjunto and filling the halls with the swelling sounds of the accordion. “I think it’s better than a marching band because it’s most of our culture,” one student said." bigbendsentinel.com/2024/08/28/new…

My latest on the ongoing suicide crisis in CBP – featuring my first candid, on-the-record interviews with local Border Patrol (border journos know what a feat it can be to get clearance) & a deeply moving opposing viewpoint from survivor @buddjenn bigbendsentinel.com/2024/04/17/the…

“All of our customers are mom and pop-owned and they love their newspapers. They’re not corporate outfits that can only see next month’s bottom line,” Smokey, the press owner, said. “They have a love for their publication so they want it to look good."

Press employees I spoke to range in age from 15 to 82. Every week they print several local papers serving Far West Texas. The industry is in decline, but the owner told me the press has always managed to turn a profit.

2nd article in the @bigbendsentinel mental health series focuses on the role of local leaders and law enforcement - please read! The story illuminates a very serious issue for our rural communities and questions our state’s fiscal priorities. bigbendsentinel.com/2024/04/03/a-d…
