Department of Homeland Security: Border Wall Eminent Domain

by Tiamat Friday, Dec. 14, 2007 at 2:10 AM

On December 7, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff issued a warning to those land owners who are resisting the building of the apartheid wall. Some of the land owners in the border zone are indigenous and are in danger of having their land forcibly taken over by the DHS to build the wall!

This is a major development in the fast moving push toward totalitarianism/martial law in North

America.

Please take notice!



Below is a short excerpt from the December 7th press release from Michael Chertoff:

"And that gets into the problem of what we sometimes call "not in my backyard." I am sensitive to the fact that

fencing can be an obstacle to people's activities, agricultural activities and things of that sort. We have tried to

work with communities and with individuals to get access and see what we can do to satisfy our operational

goals in a way that is minimally intrusive.

But we are coming to the point that we will need, and if we're going to keep our deadlines, to move forward in

terms of giving some entry work and engineering preliminary work and then ultimately some building, whether

it's barriers, roads or light fixtures. We're going to need to start doing that in some areas where property

owners have not been cooperative, either because they haven't responded to our requests to enter, which may

be because we haven't you know, connected with them, or because they've actually turned us down.

So we're going to be sending letters out today telling them that over the next 30 days we'd like to hear from

them and negotiate with them, but failing that, we are going to be commencing eminent domain to give us a

right of entry. We will obviously deposit money in the court to pay for any incidental damages. And then

depending on what we see once we've done the engineering work, we will want to then do some building. It may be roads, it may be lights, it may be fencing. And there again, we would of course like to reach an agreement

with the landowner in doing that, but if we are unsuccessful, we are prepared to use eminent domain."
