TERLINGUA MOON June 26, 2018 Vol. 29 No. 26 Edited by Cactus Jane He said if I could write a song I believe I'd be a king/ but it took him twenty years until he got the nerve/ he's got boxes full of papers and papers full of words/ and the words fly away like swallows on the wind/ but they never flew back to the nest again/ never took him to the place where the dream begins/ — Tom Russell “Where the Dream Begins”     Welcome to the Moon! Thanks for landing, share freely. PDF copy here.

Directions: Brewster County Courthouse is located in Alpine at the corner of Avenue E and N. 6th St. Families Belong Together - Big Bend  Sign up to Attend WASHINGTON, DC – Prior to the House vote on the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2018, U.S. Representative Will Hurd issued the following statement: “I have long advocated for securing our nation’s borders and providing a permanent legislative fix for DACA recipients, but this proposal does not accomplish either goal,” said Hurd, who represents more of the U.S.-Mexico border than any other Member of Congress. “Furthermore, I cannot support a bill that fails to effectively address family separations at the border, establishes a long and winding road for DACA recipients at the expense of existing visa programs and doubles down on an expensive and ineffective 4th century border security tool that takes private property away from hundreds of Texans. I’ve said time and time again that a long-term solution must be bipartisan, and I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle so that we can actually solve these problems once and for all." Hurd also met with ambassadors from El Salvador and Honduras to discuss the ongoing immigration crises: weblink. BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK EXOTIC WILDLIFE plan has been finalized.

"On Fathers Day, I think of the more than 11,000 children separated from their parents and detained at the border under new zero-tolerance enforcement. In our names, we are becoming a cruel, draconian, oppressive country. On our watch, we are using torture as a tactic to close our borders. Think of the same happening to you as a parent, or you as a child. I take responsibility for this. These are my laws, this is my government. Blame can be thrown any direction, but the truth remains, what we are doing to these families is unconscionable. Spreading hate and fear, sending a signal to the world that this kind of reprehensible behaviour is acceptable, is rotten to the core. Is this who we are? Is this what we now represent?"

Big Bend National Park – Following rains this past week, Big Bend National Park’s fire danger has been reduced to Moderate, prompting park managers to remove restrictions that had been in place to protect park visitors and park resources during the past months of extreme fire danger.

Juniper Flats, Boulder Meadows, and Pinnacles backpacking sites are now open for camping. The park additionally has removed the temporary ban on charcoal fires and smoking in the Chisos Campground. The park would like to remind visitors that while fire danger has been reduced, visitors to the park should still take care to prevent human caused wildfires. The park’s regulations prohibiting ground fires, wood fires, and smoking on trails in the Chisos Mountains are still in place.

From Will Hurd: WASHINGTON, DC – Today, S. 2397, the Senate companion to U.S. Representative Will Hurd’s DHS Data Framework Act, was unanimously approved by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. In response to this great news, Hurd released the following statement:

“It’s 2018. Our law enforcement should be able to get the right information to the right people at the right time, to keep our nation’s enemies on the run and off our shores. DHS personnel need to share information quickly without compromising our nation’s secrets, and that’s why my colleagues on both sides of the aisle unanimously approved the DHS Data Framework Act in the House,” said Hurd, who spent almost a decade as an undercover officer in the CIA and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. “I applaud Senator Maggie Hassan for introducing the DHS Data Framework Act in the Senate and her Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee colleagues for recognizing this initiative to keep Americans safe.”

 The DHS Data Framework Act codifies an effort at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a data framework to incorporate all DHS component agency data related to homeland security, terrorist information, weapons of mass destruction, and national intelligence, into one system, thereby alleviating the current costly, cumbersome process of searching and vetting information against multiple databases with different log-ins, passwords, and legal restrictions.
