On April 23, a DHS contractor accidentally bulldozed a 50-to-70-foot path through the 272-foot Las Playas Intaglio while building a second barrier near the existing wall under a $659 million contract. CBP secured the site and had Commissioner Rodney Scott coordinate with tribal leaders. The incident gained attention alongside a June 9 DHS waiver bypassing environmental laws for 80 miles of barriers and roads in Texas' Big Bend National Park, after a Democratic amendment to block funding failed 26-34 in Congress. Lawmakers like Rep. Veronica Escobar called it an assault on national treasures, while supporters stressed border security needs.

A 1,000-year-old fish-shaped etching sacred to the O'odham people now bears bulldozer scars from border wall preparations. The April damage in Arizona's Cabeza Prieta refuge has tribal leaders and officials responding.

Teammate Cayden Boozer cheered with 'Good boyyyyyy' and a grinning dog meme, while analysts praise his elite efficiency and see his return—over a late first-round NBA pick—as a sign NIL deals are reshaping college hoops.
