The Brownsville Herald: UTB-TSC: DHS violated settlement

The UTB-TSC has accused the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of violating a March lawsuit settlement that gave officials permission to survey campus land.

Under the compromise, DHS was required to assess alternatives to the border fence and consider the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College’s “unique status as an institution of higher learning.”
