Texas man sues over fear Trump's emergency declaration will cause ancestors' burial sites to be move
A Texas landowner filed a lawsuit on Thursday over concern that President Trump’s emergency declaration would force his ancestors’ bodies to be exhumed in order to build a border wall.
Ramiro Ramirez is one of seven plaintiffs in a new federal lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., against Trump’s national emergency declaration, Buzzfeed News reported.
Ramiro Ramirez owns property covering two historic cemeteries along the U.S.-Mexico border, and his sister, Sylvia Ramirez, told the outlet that federal surveyors have been examining the area.
“We have such a deep, strong connection with our ancestors and with the land and with the final resting place of most of my Jackson ancestors,” Sylvia Ramirez told Buzzfeed News. “That’s where I plan to be buried and where my brother Ramiro wants to as well.”
