This law would apply to all of our public lands, including national parks, wilderness areas, and BLM land.
The number of CBP agents under investigation for a large variety of transgressions is extremely concerning.
This bill is not just a give-away to the mining industry. It is a wholesale giveaway of our public lands.
I would urge Secretary Mayorkas and the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security to have these agents investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
