A proposal to ban the Trump administration from building a border wall in Big Bend National Park failed Wednesday in the U.S. House Appropriations Committee in a vote along party lines.

Introduced by Democratic Texas congressman Henry Cueller, the measure would have prevented the use of Department of Homeland Security funds to construct barriers inside the park.

What they're saying: "Big Bend National Park is one of Texas' greatest treasures. That's why I introduced an amendment to prevent federal funds from being used to construct a border wall in Big Bend National Park, Big Bend State Park, and other important locations across our district, including downtown Laredo, areas surrounding the World Trade International Bridge and Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge, Chacon Bat Park, Father Charles M. McNaboe Park, Max A. Mandel Municipal Golf Course, Santa Rita Park, the San Ygnacio Historic District, and Falcon Lake," Cueller said on X.
