STATEMENT: Texas Governor-Elect Hinojosa on SCOTUS Allowing Construction to Resume in Big Bend

Austin, TX – Today, Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled to allow construction again in the Big Bend Region:

“Texas sovereignty and land should be protected. By letting the federal government bulldoze our land, the Supreme Court is continuing to put corporate profits before the people of Texas. 

“I’m ready to work with the federal government to secure our border and keep our communities safe, while maintaining our property rights and sovereignty. Big Bend is our birthright, and our children and grandchildren deserve to experience its majesty. I will do everything in my power as governor to ensure it is protected.”
