Tribo acusa agentes federais dos EUA de ‘invasão’ em terra indígena fronteiriça.

In its decision on Monday, the court granted the government’s emergency request to lift a lower court’s injunction that had paused construction while the matter was litigated.

A injunção, disse, “impede o Governo de avançar em seus ‘interesses imprescindíveis’ na segurança e integridade da fronteira.”.

The border wall has long been a signature part of Trump’s platform to restrict immigration into the US.

During his first successful bid for the presidency in 2016, for instance, he rallied supporters with chants of “Build the wall!”.

Mas a tentativa de ampliar a barreira de fronteira pelo popular parque nacional tem enfrentado resistência de conservacionistas, autoridades locais e alguns membros do próprio Partido Republicano de Trump.

Big Bend National Park includes mountain ranges and desert that serve as a home to endangered species like the Mexican long-nosed bat.

Opponents say the plan to build the wall through the park would disrupt the ecologically and culturally significant landscape.

A administração Trump, no entanto, tem retratado o projeto como uma prioridade urgente para a segurança nacional e o controle de imigração. Ela descreveu a área de Big Bend como uma artéria para cruzamentos irregulares na fronteira e tráfico de drogas.

US District Judge Kathleen Cardone blocked the construction in October, noting that while the Big Bend sector makes up more than 25 percent of the US-Mexico border, it accounts for only 0.

3 to 2. 2 percent of migrant apprehensions.

O Supremo Tribunal, no entanto, disse que o governo era “exceedingly likely to prevail” em seu argumento de que Cardone não tinha jurisdição sob o Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act de 1996, que limita a capacidade dos tribunais inferiores de decidir sobre barreiras fronteiriças.

Under that law, district courts can only hear claims alleging a violation of the US Constitution. The Supreme Court found that the challengers’ claim did not qualify, writing that “there is no such thing as a ‘constitutional’ major-questions claim”.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only justice to indicate she would have denied the government’s request. She did not explain her reasoning.

The Center for Biological Diversity was among the plaintiffs who brought the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, along with Friends of the Ruidosa Church and a local river guide and landowner.

The lawsuit challenged waivers used by the agency to fast-track border construction and sidestep environmental and conservation laws.

Sem essas isenções, os autores disseram que a construção teria que cumprir leis como a Endangered Species Act, a National Environmental Policy Act e a National Historic Preservation Act para alterar a paisagem em “one of the most remote and ecologically and culturally significant landscapes in the United States”.
