National Butterfly Sanctuary Files Restraining Order Against Shitstain's Bulldozers

Amid a legal battle to stop the federal government from erecting a 36-foot "wall system" topped with steel bollards through its property, the National Butterfly Center is conducting business as usual.

On a Wednesday morning, the parking lot at the 100-acre wildlife center was full, with some families and winter Texans visiting its trails, observation areas, exhibits, and botanical garden. There's even a field trip planned for tomorrow, said Marianna Treviño-Wright, the center’s director.

Meanwhile, a draft emergency restraining order against the federal government awaits a final read before it's filed, possibly as soon as Thursday, she said. The National Butterfly Center posted a photo Sunday that shows an excavator parked near its property.

Customs and Border Protection's Marcelino Medina said Wednesday construction has not started, adding that a timeline indicates the project is slated to begin mid-February. In October, environmental and historic preservation laws were waived to expedite the construction of the barriers, which are being funded by the 2018 omnibus Appropriations Act.

1. If there was a god, I would be praying that this wouldn't happen

Since there isn't, I don't know what to do.

2. Thank you once again, hatrack.

There is so much news, daily, that it would be easy for irreversible and tragic damage to be done with little national attention. I'm grateful to you for keeping us informed.

3. De nada! I used to worry about getting burned out . . . .

But too much to keep up with for that.

4. Yes, there is indeed too much to keep up with, but thanks to you and

so many others here, more often than not, I know what's going on before my family and friends do. They used to be surprised, but now will ask me what do I know about what they just saw on the news.
So again, Hatrack, thank you for your perseverance in keeping up!
