(THE HILL) The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) is suing the Trump administration over its plans to build the border wall through its Butterfly Center in South Texas.
The 100-acre wildlife center and botanical garden abuts the Rio Grande and is part of the Fish and Wildlife Service’s Lower Rio Grande Valley Wildlife Corridor.
In its 20-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, NABA said construction of the proposed wall along the southern border would cut off two-thirds of its property, effectively destroying the Butterfly Center and leaving behind a 70-acre no-man’s land between the proposed border wall and the Rio Grande.
