The US government seeks land for a border wall near Mount Cristo Rey. This sacred site is a pilgrimage destination for thousands of faithful people.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces opposes the land acquisition and wall construction. Church officials argue the wall infringes upon religious freedom and desecrates
the holy place. A legal battle is underway as the government pursues eminent domain for the project.
