Hi all,

Please see below social guidance on an article explaining how President Trump and DHS are using the Real ID Act of 2005 to waive dozens of bedrock environmental laws to build the southern border wall.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Under normal circumstances, President Trump’s border wall would require extensive review under laws like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to ensure local communities are able to provide input in government decision-making. Using a little-known Congressional law, the Trump administration is seeking to waive both NEPA and dozens of other environmental safeguards on the southern border in order to speed construction. #ProtectYourVoice

"The idea that the secretary of [the] DHS could come to your community and say no laws apply here, what kind of rule of law is that?”
